Every week, I review blogs and other publications that cover talent development to find the very best talent development posts. This week, you’ll find pointers to pieces about leadership development for women, evidence-based leadership development, who’s looking for a new job, and HR Tech.
From Dan McCarthy: 10 Elements of a Great Woman’s Leadership Development Program
“I’ve recently had the opportunity to help design a brand-new open-enrollment Woman’s Leadership Development Program to be offered through the University of New Hampshire’s Executive Development Program. Given that I’ve written about how to design great leadership development programs, I thought it might make for an interesting case study to share with readers how I applied a lifetime of leadership development expertise to this program.”
From Right Management: Powerful Leadership Development Programs Deliver Evidence-based Results
“The most in-demand and powerful leadership development programs are all about accelerating the skills of high potential performers and next generation leadership. Next generation leadership development programs include individual development plans and CEO mentoring that translates learning into lasting capability development. Our approach to leadership acceleration – which has repeatedly delivered successful outcomes – is based on four elements: Experiential, Exposure (job based), Education/Training, and Effectiveness.”
Wally’s Comment: There’s a little too much selling in this piece for my personal taste, but there’s also enough content to make it worth a read.
From John Zappe via TLNT: Survey: Fewer are Looking, But Most Are Open to Taking a New Job
“Jobvite’s annual Social Job Seeker Survey is out this week and it says that fewer working Americans are actively looking for a job, even as the survey found that most of us are open to opportunity should it come knocking.”
From Lance Haun via TLNT: HR Tech 2012: What Recruiting Vendors Are Saying Here in Chicago
“I’m here at the 2012 HR Technology Conference in sunny but chilly Chicago. One of the best reasons to come to the HR technology show (besides the great people here, the sessions and parties) is to talk to people and vendors about the new technologies they are working on.”
From Kristen Frasch via HREOnline
“Once again, as in previous HR Technology® Conferences, the union of recruiting and technology — and what it’s going to look like going forward — was the juggernaut for consensus and debate on the 15th annual conference’s final day.”
