Leadership Forecast 2011

 

Recently Development Dimensions International (DDI) surveyed more than 2,600 organizations for their Leadership Forecast 2011 study.  Their goal was to understand the current state of leadership and the future talent-related needs of business.  The findings confirm that leadership quality does not just affect the bottom-line; it also affects employee retention and engagement.  The vast majority of organizations surveyed are in the process of changing their business models and services, going global or looking for ways to be more competitive.  Essential leadership skills needed to accomplish these tasks include:

  • Driving and Managing Change
  • Coaching
  • Identifying and Developing Talent
  • Fostering Creativity and Innovation

    FREE Webinar: Customer Service: Moving from a Service to a Profit Center

     

    Customer service supports business growth by working to keep customers happy and promote their ongoing loyalty.  But, the challenges of today's business environment demand that customer service representatives take advantage of their unique capabilities, and the opportunities that present themselves with each customer interaction, to make a more substantial contribution to the top line.
