It can be exciting and reassuring to watch promising leaders take strides in their development toward the C-suite. But too often, high-flying successors stumble. And when they do, boards are taken by surprise, often at a loss for what caused the setbacks or how to get leaders back on track.
In this webinar, Matt Paese, Senior Vice President of Executive Services, shares stories and lessons of the pitfalls, roadblocks, and recoveries that senior leaders encountered on their journeys to and through the C-suite. Matt discusses:
- How to frame expectations for growth in senior leadership development.
- Striking a balance between self-assurance and humility, so that new learning happens frequently while confidence remains intact.
- Adopting a healthy risk profile in guiding development, so that learning takes root quickly and permanently.
