A Win-Win Approach to GBS Leadership
The win-win idea for GBS Officers and Business Unit leaders in the company is to cross-fertilize emerging top talent in each other’s organizations. This can be done by embedding shared services assignments as a developmental step within the holistic leadership development program. And conversely, to provide rotation to top GBS leaders within Business Units.
GBS is a unique and brilliant construct because it has a broad overview of most work processes along with transformation leadership experience within a company.
What young GBS leaders don’t always have is the experience of being in a business unit or product unit of the company. What if you rotated leaders between GBS and the business for mutual growth and development?
Leadership roles with the ideal outcome being a stepping-stone for talent development is an overlooked strategy when it comes to improving skills in both business units and GBS. Typically, Business Units exist to help the company deliver the duality of implementing market segmentation efficiently while also offer products of value to consumers. Integrating Business Unit leadership assignments into your GBS organization will not only train your workforce to better manage their given tasks, but also increase the value proposition of the business while the talent development increases alongside it.
During this webinar, attendees will learn how to:
- Establish leadership roles for talent development
- Overcome leadership challenges for GBS leaders and Business professionals alike
- Recognize and overcome seven capability issues
- Leverage opportunity to grow and groom the leadership capability of leadership talent to make them into compelling company leaders
