Depending on whom you talk to, emotional intelligence is either the most important thing for leaders to have or the most over-hyped. In a constantly evolving environment where resources are limited, where should leaders focus their attention: hard or soft skills? Five, 10 or even 15 years from now, which will deliver the greatest return for your investment? In this session, a panel of learning executives will debate the future of leadership skills and where to target their learning to deliver the greatest bottom-line impact.

More often than not, “doing more with less” means more work and less development for time-strapped employees and overburdened managers. To be effective, chief learning officers need to find creative ways to fit learning and development into workers’ already hectic days. In this panel, learning leaders explore the creative and innovative ways CLOs are meeting increased learning demand and getting employees to make time when time is limited.

In this session, attendees will hear:

• Innovative approaches for attracting and communicating development opportunities.
• Creative ways to engineer learning and reduce the time burden for employees.
• Alternative learning formats and techniques that promise to maximize learners’ time.
