This event aligns with the Personal, Professional and Organizational Application of ATD's Talent Development Capability Model.
Search ‘leadership development’ in an academic portal, you get close to 5 million results. Do a simple ‘google’ and you get 1.2 billion. But what exactly is ‘leadership’ and how can we be confident we’re developing ‘it’? Join Dr. Rita Hilton, co-author of peer-reviewed research (Hilton & O’Leary, Leading in Place: Leadership Through Different Eyes, Routledge, 2018) and experienced talent development leader to explore what it means to bring a modern, vertical development lens to designing leadership learning. The session will include a brief overview of the topic and exploration of key questions. For example: what data do we need to apply this lens in context; what questions should practitioners be asking (that maybe we haven’t been); what is the value add of taking a vertical development perspective?
