| Learning & Development Professionals Forum #16 Tuesday, 27th March, 2012 |
UTS invites you to a forum on strategic leadership led by Dr Robin Stonecash.
Entitled "What can happen when a CEO listens" Robin tells the story of the then new Fuji Xerox CEO, who admitted he needed help to acquire new skills to enable him to lead the company effectively. His realisation and journey is a powerful lesson in what impact an L&D professional can have on an organisation.
Often, CEO's and leaders don't appreciate what skills they - and their teams - really need to be effective. This session will help explore this area and highlight how L&D professionals communicate the power and impact of education.

Apart from being a leader, one needs to expand learning and develop the qualities that have been recognized. Your post is very helpful.
