 CIPD PRESS RELEASE 12 May 2008
Leadership: HR can make the difference
Leadership is needed in today's organisations now
more than ever, yet only 36% of British leaders
have confidence in their organisation's current
leadership ability: this compares with 53% of global
leaders, according to research from the Chartered
Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and
Development Dimensions International (DDI). The
forthcoming Leadership conference from the CIPD
takes place on the 3rd June, British Academy of
Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) and will examine
the latest CIPD/DDI global leadership forecast, and
highlight how HR can help close the leadership gap.
Speakers at the conference include:
* Tim Richardson Director, Leadership Development
and Talent Management at Pricewaterhouse Coopers
* Mike Brown, Chief Operating Officer on London
Underground.
* Angela O'Connor, Chief People Officer at the
National Policing Improvement Agency.
The Conference will also include a panel discussion
on Creating Innovative Approaches to Leadership
Development. Facilitated by Linda Holbeche, (Director
of Research and Policy at the CIPD), the discussion
will develop the theme of how Personnel specialists
are at the forefront of building a leadership culture.
Linda Holbeche says: "Developing leadership cultures
is important for the success of any organisation,
particularly in times of economic slowdown. Any
organisation needs strong leaders who can assist
HR in a number of ways such as keeping employees
engaged, spotting skills gaps or managing
redundancies. This conference will give practical
advice on how to achieve your objectives and implement
a leadership strategy that makes a difference."
