Called the “linchpin” of organizations, business unit leaders arguably have the greatest impact on an organization's performance. But they often get the least amount of training and development in an organization--and frequently not the training they need to succeed.

What can Learning & Development (L&D) professionals do to ensure these vital leaders learn the skills needed to drive organizational performance while surging ahead on their career path? Join us for a webinar on How L&D Can Unleash the Competitive Power of Your Leaders.

During this session, you will learn:

• The five competencies most critical to business unit leader success
• The development experiences L&D needs to create to accelerate business unit leader performance
• How L&D can best utilize investment dollars to develop business unit leaders
