This workshop will show you how the US Military
identifies, trains, and professionally develops
Leaders we can count on. We instinctively know
that Americas strength and competitive advantage
is its workforce, yet that workforce can only be
as good as its leadership at all levels. The
agenda will cover the full range of leadership
training for Heartbeat Leaders those who define
the core essence of an organization and who
represent the key linkage between the individual
team member and the rest of the organization.
Specifically, practical methods will be reviewed
for organizations to conceive, define, plan,
implement, and measure Leader Identification,
Training, and Development Systems so that they
reinforce and sustain the transformation to
excellence. A similar event was conducted in 2010
