new and frontline leadersWho knew that a pandemic would quickly and drastically shift our focus and priorities? Depending on your industry, the nature of the changes brought on by the pandemic might have been different. But every organization and industry shifted to new priorities in that new world. One of the constant organizational needs that dropped off the radar screen was the development of new and frontline leaders.

It makes sense. Perhaps you had fewer training dollars. Or perhaps they were diverted to teaching new technologies and protocols, enhanced DE&I efforts, or supporting remote work and leadership. Yet, the business has continued. We have continued to promote and hire new and frontline leaders. And even those already in place might have needed development – before March of 2020.

Now the need to attract and retain talent has become critical. Good leadership is a major piece of an attraction and retention strategy. So, while you may have put off new and frontline leader development for good or understandable reasons, the delay is beginning to cause increasingly bigger problems for your organization.

This is the world we see as we talk and work with clients. And we know it isn’t just our clients who are struggling with all of this.

Get Back on Track

A couple months ago, we created and released the How Are You Developing Your New and Frontline Leaders? Proven Strategies for Helping Leaders Succeed webinar. It was a free resource to help people and organizations see the need to reprioritize the development of their new and frontline leaders. Work that may have been delayed during the height of the pandemic. It was well received and watched by hundreds of people. Now we have decided to make it available as an on-demand webinar – still completely free for you.
