The “Race for Talent” pervades the global economy like never before in history. In times of turbulence, leadership quality and depth are essential to the organization’s performance, health – and survival. That’s why developing your Leadership Pipeline – Finding, Growing and Retaining Top Talent – is imperative for pharmaceutical, healthcare, financial services and all other industries during the current period of economic downturn, intensified global competition and political uncertainty.
