Description

As organizations face increasing complexity, rapid technological advances, and workforce shifts, the need for agile and capable leaders has never been more critical. This session focuses on strategies for developing future-ready leaders equipped to inspire teams, drive results, and navigate change effectively. Participants will explore approaches to leadership development that cater to different levels within the organization, ensuring alignment with both current business challenges and long-term goals.

This interactive discussion highlights how leadership programs can be designed to build foundational skills for first-time managers, cultivate innovative problem-solving at mid-levels, and foster enterprise-wide strategic thinking among senior leaders. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas for fostering leadership behaviors that empower individuals and create a culture of trust, collaboration, and continuous growth.

We are excited to feature member spotlights showcasing progress and innovation in this critical area. Amanda Mickelson, VP of Human Resources – Talent & Employee Experience at Oshkosh Corporation and Nicole Rybeck Wolcott, Senior Manager, Early Talent Programs at Kohler Co., will share their insights and experiences.
