We’ve all heard the adage: “People don’t leave jobs; they leave managers.” While many leaders struggle to retain or replace employees, this is not true of all leaders. In fact, high-performing managers are four times more likely to retain employees than low-performing managers. The key is discovering what organizations can do to create high-performing leaders—especially as employees continue their exodus in the “Great Resignation.”

For the sixth year, Training magazine and Wilson Learning Worldwide teamed up to conduct the Annual Leadership Survey, which focuses on what organizations are doing to develop effective leaders in these constantly changing times. The results provide organizations with a clear roadmap to achieve a greater return on their leadership development investments as they strengthen their culture and bolster employee engagement.

Join Lorri Freifeld, Editor/Publisher of Training magazine, and Dr. Michael Leimbach, VP of Global Research and Development for Wilson Learning, for this webinar, which will explore:

• The current state of leadership development (including levels of investment, priority skills, and learning methods)
• The pandemic’s impact on leadership development efforts
• Best practices and tips from high-performing companies to increase the effectiveness of leadership development efforts
