PI Worldwide to Host Webinar on the Five Essential Steps for Developing Better Leaders

WELLESLEY, Mass., Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PI Worldwide, a leader in science-driven insights that help optimize the performance and potential of individuals, teams, and organizations, will host a webinar titled, "The Five Essential Steps for Developing Better Leaders." Webinar attendees will learn how to use a data-driven approach to achieve more consistent results from leadership development efforts – which are essential to long-term success. The one-hour broadcast will take place on Thursday, September 25, 2014 at 2 p.m. EST. 

Recent research revealed that more than two-thirds of leadership development investments are targeted at executives while a mere 17 percent goes toward the development of first- and second-level leaders (Bersin). Considering their responsibility and influence over others, as well as the personal challenges many first-time leaders face, Bersin suggests that "coaching, development and support are critical" for this too-often overlooked group.

Organizations that offer employees the opportunity to expand their capabilities increase the likelihood of retaining their talent. In turn, this creates a team of workers equipped to grow with the company and contribute to its success. Nurturing high-performers and leaders requires an effective coaching process – one that reflects employees' natural behaviors and styles. By implementing a talent development process built on predictive data and analytics, organizations will be better positioned to groom, engage and retain the talent needed to achieve its goals.

The webinar, "The Five Essential Steps for Developing Better Leaders" will:

• Describe the five steps of an effective coaching process
• Define the difference between coaching and managing
• Provide sample questions to ask during each step of the coaching process for optimal results
• Highlight the benefits of a data-driven coaching approach

This webinar is the third in PI Worldwide's four-part series developed to showcase the benefits of using workforce analytics to solve many of today's business challenges.  The final webinar topic in the series is Growth Strategy and will be held on December 11.
