Gen-X, Millennials, and Gen-Z place a high priority on learning and development as an institutional value of the places they choose to work. Data on their preferences can be used to craft strategies that result in better prepared leaders. This session will illustrate the shift in human resources theory and practice from merely "attract and retain" to "attract, develop, and retain." We will identify key elements of a useful leadership development strategy and suggest talent development practices and behaviors consistent with positive outcomes.

After this session, the facilitators will be available for an additional hour to engage with participants around specific questions, ideas, and opportunities related to leadership development.
