2013 Learning and Leadership Development Conference from HCI

By

The Human Capital Institute (HCI), a global non-profit institution for strategic talent management, recently shared details of its upcoming 2013 Learning and Leadership Development Conference. Held November 18-20, 2013 in Boston, the conference will focus this year on three principles critical to organizational success:

  1. Creating Transformative Leaders
  2. Building a Continuous Culture of Learning, and
  3. Tools and Skills Leadership Needs to Stay Relevant

According to a report from Deloitte, 54 percent of business leaders cite gaps in their leadership pipelines as one of their three most critical obstacles to growth. In addition, executive confidence in middle managers continues to deteriorate each year (from 66 percent in 2010 to 49 percent in 2012). While many think this is due to a weaker selection in current and potential talent, a more likely reason is criteria used for leadership selection and in-house leadership development.

HCIs Learning and Leadership Development Conference is designed to address the challenges of traditional leadership development programs and training to give attendees the insight needed to create a deeper, more transformative experience that produces a new type of leadership. As the business environment continues to evolve rapidly, leaders need to acquire a new set of skills and competencies, including social and mobile expertise, internal process improvement and the ability to embrace new decision-making methodologies such as big data.

A New Leadership Development Formula

At Tip of the Spear, we have found that leadership development can be derived from the following formula:

Committed Leadership = High Performance

and

High Performance = Inspired Leaders

therefore 

Committed Leadership = Inspired Leaders

When leadership is firmly anchored with the habits identified with the Leadership Challenge methodology, and unconditional leadership commitment is applied, leadership culture is driven throughout the organization. This leadership development methodology also provides a simple and memorable process to bring your organization’s core competencies and values to life.

Inc 500 | 5000 Leadership Advisory Boards

At Tip of the Spear, we are the Inc 500 | 5000 Advisory Services Firm of Choice! We partner with leaders from the Inc 500 | 5000 who are challenged by stagnant business plateaus, and/or achieving their full potential (i.e., They are achieving Point “A” results, however the higher potential at Point “B” should be achieved).

[countdown]

After researching the best of the best in executive, leadership and business development, we launched our innovative offerings in Executive Coaching, Leadership Development, and Communication Skills Training aimed specifically for the Inc 500 | 5000… and we haven’t looked back since!

Here’s what we discovered:

  • Leaders need one-to-one time with a proven expert from the C-Suite (Someone who has been there/done that… Executive Coaching at it’s finest.  NOT some career consultant that’s never held a C-Suite position)
  • Leadership today is different… Lean Startup methodology requires today’s entrepreneurial leader to have a build, measure, and learn (or pivot) mindset regardless of whether you’ve been in business 10-months or 10-years
  • Startup “mentality” just isn’t for breakfast anymore (or at the start of the initiative… You may need to “reinvent” your organization over, and over, and over again)
  • If two heads are “better” than one (Executive Coaching), then how would eight (8) more be? (Enter our Leadership Advisory Boards or LABs)

Regardless of why leaders come to us, we help them focus on what really matters:

RESULTS!

If you’re interested in achieving more, in less time, you should strategically partner with us.  Let our proven scientific methodology, that’s 100% guaranteed, show you how.  To immediately schedule a complementary consultation, email info@tipofthespearventures.com or complete the registration form below.
