Training’s
Role in Achieving High Organizational Performance
Presenter: Gary Lear
Intuitively
we know that Training and Development efforts can help the organization
perform. But where should we put our efforts? What kinds of programs
make a difference?
Three years of research and over 800
studies, articles and books led Gary Lear to the discovery of the Seven Elements of High Performance™. Adopted by such organizations as the US Navy’s Center for
Naval Leadership, the Seven Elements of High Performance™ give managers a guide for achieving
performance in their organization. Plus, Gary
found clues in the research that gives training and development departments a foundation for a
strategy to leverage the Seven Elements.
Join Gary as he challenges us to think differently about our
roles and priorities in the Training and Development arena.
