Future Leaders Now! Slides from the ASTD meeting
It was a fine time last night with the Washington chapter of the American Society for Training and Development. I enjoyed the opportunity to interact with the people who will be finding and training the next generation of leaders.
Last night we focused on the major challenges that lie ahead. Below are the slides we used as a conversation starter.

American Society for Training and Development: “Future Leaders Now!”
This Thursday at 6:00 pm I’ll be speaking at the American Society for Training and Development’s local chapter meeting here in the Washington DC area. This influential group asked me to put together a program on the specifics of training leaders to think about the future, especially given all the new stuff happening at this moment in history. I’m quite looking forward to the discussion!

Unprecedented social trends on the horizon will make the profession of training and development more important than ever. Our institutions are faced with challenges with no parallel in history: shrinking water tables, global immigration, climate change, skyrocketing healthcare costs. The world needs leaders now, to do that which has never been done.
These leaders won’t just appear - the must be trained and developed. The need for education of new skills and mindsets is staggering. Even the needs are changing every day as the global economic system shifts before our very eyes.
