Join this webinar to get started on your leadership development goals:​

• Learn a practical, powerful way of building skills and capabilities grounded in competencies and the 70/20/10 approach (which is based on research by The Center for Creative Leadership)
• Discover how to embed this approach into your organization’s operations to help you transform the culture of your organization, drive professional growth for a more diverse set of leaders, and meet your future leadership needs​
