Webinar on "Evaluating Leadership Development: The Missing Ingredient to Understanding and Achieving Success" with Kelly Hannum

Date: July 8, 2009
Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT
Register: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/839106058

What is the value of an evaluation? Who are the “right” people to evaluate a leadership development initiative? When should you conduct an evaluation? How should you conduct an evaluation?

In this session Kelly Hannum will explore these questions and others, as well as why the answers that readily come to mind may not be the best choices. Frameworks and approaches for evaluating leadership development will be shared and explained with a focus on improving the quality of evaluations and the leadership development initiatives they represent.   More Details
