Our nation's executive suites are facing a leadership vacuum. A recent report by HR consultants
Bersin and Associates states that 53 percent of organizations are now facing talent shortages.
Where is the next generation of leaders coming from? You're about to meet some of them.
>>I'm so glad you're here, and I want you to turn to somebody else in the room, find
some other people, give them a high five, do what you need to, but just say I'm so glad
you're here!
>>And the richest part of your conversations and the richest part of your learning is probably
going to happen in those types of conversations at your table.
>>Red on one side, orange on one side, so they can't mesh. You have to flip some and
they won't be able to match that way.
>>For the next two days these emerging leaders and individual contributors won't spend much
time at their seats.
>>Stephanie: Adults tend to learn by experience and so they can hear on the one level when
they've got somebody at the front of the room telling them, but until they can personalize
it by experiencing it, it tends to sink in better at that point.
What you're going to do is nominate somebody at your table to be a scribe and a spokesperson.
This is a new audience for CCL to be working with. We've not historically done a lot focused
on individual contributors, but we know that leadership is really not a position. It's
more of a process, and so it tends to be a neglected audience.
We try to give them opportunities in the program to actually use it immediately, to experience
and use some things immediately, and then the program actually build to the end where
we spend time with them thinking about specifically how are they going to take it forward.
>>NARRATOR:Backed by decades of research and instruction, the Center for Creative Leadership
promotes the concept that the process of leadership depends on developing a natural approach to
influence, strategic relationships and a preferred learning style. CCL offers these participants
a way to discover dynamic communication skills and a keener sense of self-awareness. Participants
gain fundamental leadership skills that are learned today and used tomorrow.
>>DANIEL: Yeah, probably tonight. I mean there's, there's a huge range of ways I can use this,
and this is just really growing as a person in some ways and it's kind of an evolution
you take and the earlier you can get started on it I think the more successful you can
be.
>>SARAH: And it's definitely um self discovery, learning more about yourself, which is different
than any other leadership development program I've been involved in.
>>NARRATOR:That self discovery is designed to help participants create their own leadership
brand to discover the leader within and develop the leader they can become.
>>It's eye-opening for sure. Um, the presenters are great. They're really passionate about
the material and that comes through, and I think that generates excitement and ignites
passion in the audience as well.
>JOEL: We've given them some tools and language that they can bring back to their boss or
other people and really engage them in a conversation that will help them and their team and their
boss be more effective. And people take away from the program is leadership is about a
process instead of a person. All of us contribute to the process of leadership.
