Overview:

Making great people decisions is a critically important element for our career success. Once we become managers everything we do will depend on the people we’ve chosen: Our results, our performance, our risks, our chances of being promoted.

While investing in the right talent is an urgent (and highly profitable) priority in today’s environment, unfortunately we are ill-prepared to make great people decisions. In an increasingly turbulent environment, the skills needed may change dramatically while the frequency and urgency of critical decisions sharply increases.

But here is the good news: Turbulent environments represent a unique opportunity for investing in the right talent. In a troubled environment, some exceptional talents may become available.

When the impact of talent is larger than ever, and costs are lower, wise managers and organizations can achieve the highest possible return on talent. How can we make the right people decisions? Who are going to be the people who will help us identify what businesses to be in, and successfully manage them?

This online seminar will help you understand and apply what is required to make great people decisions. Based on his best-selling book “Great People Decisions: Why They Matter So Much, Why They are So Hard, and How You Can Master Them” , Claudio explains key elements of talent management. He also spends a good portion of the online seminar taking questions from the audience.

What you will learn:

- Why selecting the right people is at least as important as selecting the right strategy
- What are the characteristics of a "winner" and how to recognize them
- What makes people decisions so hard and how you can master them
- Why making great people decisions is the most controllable factor in the success of an organization

 

All registered event participants receive a downloadable supplementary appendix by Cláudio Fernández-Aráoz on "Poor Practices, Best Practices, and Implementation Challenges" featuring a detailed 7-step process on how to make great people decisions. This valuable instructional appendix supplement is available complimentary when you register for this Online Seminar.
