Leadership development and high potential management - capabilty building
I have worked in senior HR positions in the international financial services business over 25 years. In this capacity I have experienced periods of growth, mergers, managing during financial crisis, many reorganizations, innovation initiatives and an IPO (listing of a company). In my roles as HR Director and Head of Leadership & Development, I had the privilege to work with talented leaders and individuals from various countries and cultures, in various business challenges. During this exciting journey I gained a wealth of knowledge and a truly multi-cultural perspective on ‘Work Culture’, co-operation, Talent Agility and Leadership Effectiveness. I designed and delivered leadership and capability building programs as well as diversity and inclusion initiatives. I coached high potentials and executives originating from various countries and transformed HR teams from operational towards a more tactical and strategic business focus.
Examples of Leadership and talent programs I have developed and executed are:
- Succession planning
- Talent development programs, including stretch assignments and pressure cooking settings
- Mentor and coach programs for talents and executives
- Key position recruitment
- Programs co-created with the help of professional external providers
I am certified in Human Synergetics' LSI (Lifestyle Inventory/Leadership Impact) tool. With the help of this tool we can easily measure what is the current leaderships style of a leader and what could be a more impactful or effective leadership style going forward.
