SUMMARY:Building Great Talent Managers: The 4+2 Model
DESCRIPTION:There’s not a secret to growing better talent faster\, there’s a process. In this 3-hour highly interactive and practical workshop\, you’ll learn about and assess your organization’s talent production line – the disciplined process for producing talent. You’ll learn where most organizations go wrong and how the best thrive. You’ll also become a better talent-building HR leader with the 4+2 Model. This model from Marc Effron’s Talent Management Institute at the University of North Carolina details what differentiates the best talent-builders in HR. You’ll leave with a focused action plan for optimizing how your organization (and you) build better talent faster.
