There is no argument that theory deserves a seat at the strategy table. But, when times get tough, theories provide little comfort if they cannot be clearly applied and implemented in practice. Checklists and models are useless if leaders are not certain of their application and execution. High potentials begin their tenure with strategic coursework and theoretical models, but as the economic tide continues to change, more of these individuals are expected to take on leadership roles in the next five years. Thus, it is imperative for businesses to shift their HiPo development programs as well. How can current leaders introduce high potentials to the best ways to apply theory in practice? Learn what kinds of programs and practices swing the pendulum toward more doing than just thinking among future leaders. Don’t miss these takeaways:
Discover why it is critical to shift away from theory and into practice
Learn about methods that are easily utilized to provide HiPos with more opportunities
Establish processes to ensure both theory application and experiential learning have a place at the table
