Red Auerbach, the nine-time NBA champion basketball coach, was once asked how to motivate a team. "One player at a time," he replied. The same is true for filling your leadership pipeline, be it through internal or external candidates: You fill it one manager at a time. Of course, you need a robust system and scalable process, but you also must have strategies and practices that address the specific needs of each individual manager as he or she navigates the tricky transition into a larger role.

This Webinar will summarize recent research that shows too many executives lead more like middle managers—which disengages their people, compromises their teams and lowers company performance. The presenters, Robert Kaiser and Darren Overfield of Kaplan DeVries Inc., will then review what's required to lead effectively at both the manager and executive level -- and why it's so difficult for managers to reinvent their leadership to suit higher-level job demands. Attendees will also learn about a scalable methodology for helping managers make a successful upward transition.
