Workshop: Our VVP model to ensure full benefit of leadership programs

Some articles suggest that leadership programs might have a great impact on talent development and retention … if implemented correctly. Some figures even suggest that only 10% of the outlay for corporate training and development in the US delivers concrete results. Why? Because of the persisting dichotomy between professional and personal life. But with the evolution of our working practices over the last few years, the borders between ‘pro and perso` are more porous than ever. In fact, those leadership programs should address this evolution, not only focusing on the professional life of the person, but also on her/his personal aspirations, on the whole-person growth.

That´s why we are proposing a 3-step model to address this currently existing gap.

Learning goals summary:

• Current evolution of the work-life balance.

• How to maximize the results of the leadership programs.

• Our 3-step model: the VVP Model.
