Overcoming Leadership Crises Through Strategic Talent Development

In a world where organizations are increasingly facing challenges such as a lack of successors, rising stress levels, and diminishing trust in leaders, the need for effective talent development has never been more critical. HRD Inc., known for its expertise in personality psychology-based talent assessment, has joined forces with Management Service Center (MSC) to address these pressing issues through an enlightening online seminar titled "Strategies for Overcoming Leadership Crises Through Effective Talent Development", set for September 17, 2025.

Webinar Overview

The co-hosted webinar will feature insights derived from MSC/DDI's global research called the "Global Leadership Forecast 2025". Participants will explore the inherent challenges related to talent development and discuss practical strategies to maximize the return on investment in leadership development initiatives. The session is designed for HR executives, CHROs, and those keen on understanding how to effectively channel limited resources for substantial outcomes in leadership training.

Why Attend?

This webinar comes at a crucial time when many organizations grapple with the crisis of identifying and nurturing future leaders. The three primary challenges—shortage of successors, increasing stress, and loss of trust in management—lead many to a stark reality: fewer individuals are willing to step up into leadership roles. Moreover, companies are finding that their investments in development often yield lackluster results. This session aims to dissect these issues and provide actionable insights.

Key Discussions

The webinar will be moderated by senior consultant Mizuko Yamazaki of MSC, who will engage with company representatives to delve into the following topics:

• - Understanding the essence of the current crisis, including barriers to effective external hiring and factors behind the absence of leader candidates.
• - Formulating optimal investment strategies in talent development based on scientific evidence and successful models.
• - Identifying actionable steps organizations can take immediately to begin addressing these issues.
