Session Focus: Open dialogue about current gaps in preparing managers for modern leadership challenges and explore innovative solutions. This roundtable will examine current gaps and opportunities in leadership development programs. Participants will discuss blind spots in how organizations cultivate leaders, share innovative approaches, and explore ways to prepare leaders for modern challenges better. Key questions we'll explore:

1. What are some vital blind spots in how many organizations develop leaders?
2. What critical skills or mindsets are leadership programs failing to cultivate sufficiently?
3. How could we better tailor leadership development to individual personalities, strengths, and growth areas?
4. What innovative formats or delivery methods could make leadership training more engaging and effective?
5. What role should mentoring, job rotations, stretch assignments, and other on-the-job development play?
6. How can we reinforce and sustain leadership lessons over time, not just in a one-off program?
7. What metrics should we establish to assess leadership program impacts and ROI better?
