The Leaders We Need Session:

How the Next Generation is Changing Leaders and Leadership


The War for Talent never ended.

Leaders must consistently rethink the way their

companies plan to attract, motivate, and retain

employees.


The Challenge:

People are the biggest source of competitive advantage.

70% of management will retire in the next 7 years.


The Challenge:

Less than 10% of leaders are confident in their current talent to

execute on organizational strategy.


The Cause:

Too many organizations still dismiss talent management as a short-term, tactical issue rather

than an integral part of a long-term business strategy.


The Central Issue:

Leaders must link business strategy and talent management.



The Link to Strategy:

• Define strategic vision, initiatives, and goals.

• Define the employee skills, type of motivation, and the mindset and culture

needed to execute.


The Environmental Situation:

• Managerial Gap

• Rise of the Knowledge Worker

• The Impact of Demographics – Enter the Millennial


The Managerial Gap:

Front-line confidence in manager’s ability declining steadily since 1999 to 25% in 2008.

• Source: DDI 2009


The Managerial Gap:

• 45% of newly promoted managers fail within the first 18 months

• 50% of managers in place are assessed as not performing to potential

• Source: Center for Creative Leadership


Why?

1. Managers do not spend enough time on talent management

2. Too many silos and managers don’t collaborate

3. Managers are not committed to developing people’s capabilities and careers


Why?4. Managers are unwilling to assess performance of

employees

5. Managers do not address under-performance even when chronic

6. Managers do not understand the business strategy

7. Senior leaders do not support manager development


The 20 : 60 : 20 Rule


The Rise of the Knowledge Worker:

• The fastest-growing talent pool – 35% of the workforce

• They are different because they create more profit than other employees – up to 3x more

• They require minimal oversight


Need to understand personality,

communication, and collaboration.


The Impact of Demographics:

The Millennials are now 12% of the workforce and will take over in the next 10 years – they are the largest cohort

since the Boomers and will change business and work.


Millennials have been shaped by the Internet,

information overload, and overzealous parents.


Millennials demand more flexibility, meaningful jobs,

professional freedom, higher rewards, and a

better work-life balance.


Millennials are different and more difficult to manage

and lead.


Organizations need a more inclusive approach to talent

management.


The Employee Value Proposition:

Why should a smart, energetic, and

ambitious person want to work for your organization?


Think about culture, competencies, and

motivators.
