Leadership development is critical in today's workforce. There is so much mistrust in our leaders, which makes leadership development programs critical to the success of organizations. This Critical Leadership Competencies webcast will highlight critical leadership competencies. Ed Cohen, co-author of ASTD's new title, Riding the Tiger, will talk about leading in difficult times and Dianna Booher will discuss leadership and communication. Cohen is also an author of a chapter in the upcoming ASTD Leadership Handbook. The webcast will be moderated by the handbook's editor, Elaine Biech.
