What are the executive development practices that make a critical difference to organizational prosperity and deliver superior bottom-line performance?
Strategic Executive Development—written by three leaders in the field of executive development, James F. Bolt, Michael Dulworth and Michael McGrath—shows how world-class companies use executive development to drive business strategy and affect growth. This important resource presents five strategic uses of executive development that produce demonstrable business impact. Based on empirical data gathered from their extensive research and consulting, and a comprehensive survey of executive development in leading organizations, this book answers the key question: What are the investments in executive development that have the biggest impact?
Using illustrative case studies, the authors clearly demonstrate how executive development is being successfully implemented at some of the world's most recognizable and enduring companies. These cases describe what is working and why, offer insights into the key process steps, and show how companies have measured and validated the effects of executive development. Strategic Executive Development offers the framework needed to create an executive development strategy and program that will help your organization achieve measurable business results and develop the executive capabilities needed to win in the marketplace.
Strategic Executive Development is filled with cutting-edge advice and support for program design and development, as well as multiple tools—guidelines, checklists, and templates—for creating high-impact executive development programs and processes, and for measuring the results.
