Building a New Future of Leadership Development: The Google School for Leaders

Today’s companies need leaders who are willing to set aside the accepted best practices and evolve their approaches to meet a new set of standards as the nature of leadership is changing, and leadership development is working harder than ever to keep pace.

Employees are requiring so much more from their companies and leaders because their expectations of work are changing dramatically. Traditional methods of motivation and retention no longer work.

At Google, we set out to understand the future of leadership development and launched a new leadership center of excellence: The Google School for Leaders.

According to our research, leaders must become more self-aware and expand their range of behavior choices., which requires working on, and changing, their thinking (not simply acquiring a new skill or behavior).

During this session, you’ll learn more about:

• What it takes to become an adaptable leader and why this matters as employee expectations continue to shift
• Lessons from Google's ongoing efforts to reinvent leadership development and how to apply them to your own challenges
• Why great leadership is becoming even more critical to employee engagement, motivation and retention across industries
• What you can do to build a case for a different approach to leadership development in your own organization
