Redefining Leadership: Mars on Investing in the Well-Being and Happiness of People
Host: Future Workplace Webinars
Whether your employees are in Tokyo or Topeka, you want to be able to provide a great leadership development experience. Yet what does that really look like in a world of work where disruption has changed what we do, how we do it, where we do it from, and what skills are needed to do it right?
Join Jeanne Meister, founding partner & author at Future Workplace, and Summer Davies, Global Senior Manager, Leadership Development at Mars, Incorporated, for a hands-on exploration of the shifting needs in leadership development. You’ll hear what Mars, a family-owned global pet care, confectionery, and food business, with 11,000 managers worldwide and 2,000 first-time managers each year, is doing to prepare its next generation of leaders.
You’ll come away from this dynamic discussion with a better understanding of:
- How to create localized experiences that advance your global culture and L&D goals
- How science—when used correctly—is revolutionizing L&D outcomes
- The evidence-based benefits of 1:1 coaching for new managers
You’ll also hear how the company’s decision to integrate evidence-based leadership coaching into its newly-launched Great Line Managers’ Experience Program (GLMe) has significantly benefited its worldwide managers.
