The calibre of leadership in an organization is central to attracting and retraining talent. Executives and other leaders are being asked to lead in ways they have never been led in order to attract and retain people, and to creatively develop the capabilities and potential of others.  As organizations lose the knowledge and experience of baby boomers, executives and other leaders are tasked with rapid development of those who remain in order to fill the void.
