Upcoming Webinar on Leadership Development

In the ever-evolving landscape of corporate leadership, companies face significant challenges characterized by the growing issues of insufficient successors, increasing stress levels, and diminishing trust in management. As these crises escalate, organizations are grappling with the pressing reality that few aspire to leadership roles and that investments in training are producing minimal returns. To address these urgent matters, Management Service Center (MSC) and HRD Co., are jointly hosting a free online seminar titled "Overcoming Leadership Crises through Strategic Talent Development" on September 17, 2025.

Seminar Overview

Led by the esteemed representative of HRD, Yuusuke Nirahara, the webinar will delve deep into the findings from MSC/DDI's global research titled the "Global Leadership Forecast 2025". This study sheds light on the fundamental challenges in leadership development and offers practical strategies to maximize investment returns.

About the Research

The "Global Leadership Forecast 2025", conducted by Development Dimensions International, Inc. (DDI) in collaboration with MSC, is a pivotal global survey that has been exploring leadership trends since 1999. The upcoming 11th survey in 2025 indicates a significant shift in the expectations and qualities required of leaders, attributed to both external changes and ongoing inherited leadership challenges.
