Webcast:
Organizations have dedicated and invested millions of dollars in identifying and developing high potentials within their workforce. This cream-of-the-crop population is often pegged for leadership roles early on in their careers and are the first to participate in innovative leadership development programs. Despite the considerable amount of time and effort companies put into guiding them, studies show that many high potentials remain unengaged in their work and continue to actively pursue other opportunities.
Discover the best practices of leading organizations as they seek to motivate and empower their high potential population. Learn skills you can apply to your own workforce, from identifying high potentials to keeping them invested in their work even when the going gets rough. Get rid of the high potential waning eye syndrome for once and for all.
The first 50 people who ask questions will receive a complimentary copy of Dr. Bob's lastest book 1501 Ways to Reward Employees. We hope to see you there!
