• Provides an in-depth look at a variety of leader development initiatives that have taken up the challenge of putting experience at the center of the development process
• Written by senior practitioners who have implemented initiatives they write about
• Shares new development planning tools, systematic approaches to managing the assignments of high potentials, tools to educate managers on how to find assignments that meet their employee's development needs

Dalla quarta di copertina

Real-world initiatives that turn experiences into leadership excellence

Developing strong leadership means intentionally leveraging the process of experienced-driven learning. It’s a tall order, but 3M, Microsoft, Tata Group, HEINEKEN, and other organizations around the globe have done it. For the first time, the tactics they use to build outstanding leadership are collected in one volume, described by the very people who created them. In this book, I-O professionals, talent managers, and leadership researchers provide answers to questions like:

• How can organizations identify experiences that matter for leadership development?
• What techniques best help leaders take advantage of experience?
• What lessons do experiences offer and reinforce?
• How can coaching, mentoring, and training support on-the-job development?
• How can experience-based development initiatives align with strategic goals?

Praise for Using Experience to Develop Leadership Talent

“It may be obvious that leadership is learned through experience, but it’s far from obvious how organizations can use experience more systematically and effectively to develop the leaders they need. This book forges the path from the abstraction to the reality, and the lessons contributors have learned will help anyone interested in using experience to develop leadership talent.”
—Edward E. Lawler III, Distinguished Professor, Marshall School, University of Southern California

“Using Experience to Develop Leadership Talent provides a wealth of case examples coupled with current thinking that will help companies grow talent through experience planning. This is a must have volume for talent management and leadership development practitioners in any setting.”
—Allan H. Church, Ph.D., Vice President Organization Development & ExecutiveAssessment, PepsiCo

?“This exceptional book provides pragmatic case studies of learning through experience that help the reader turn ideas into actions and demonstrate how leading companies develop others through experience. Each case is a unique experience; the cumulative effect of all the cases is a pattern with principles for learning through experiences.”
—Dave Ulrich, Professor, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, and Partner, The RBL Group
