It’s About Talent. It Will Always Be About Talent: Creating & Sustaining a Winning Talent Culture

         “Throughout his lively and eloquent narrative, Mattone makes skillful use of reader-friendly tools that help you identify and develop leaders and future leaders. No brief commentary such as mine possibly do full justice to the quality and value of the material in this volume”.—Hall of Fame Business Reviewer, Robert Morris

Dr. Lou speaks based on John Mattone’s global study research on the area of talent & leadership development where over 150 CEO’s and Heads of HR & Talent Management were interviewed and surveyed. The study found corroborative evidence the #1 issue cited by respondents was the need to identify and develop future leaders. 

 If you are the CEO of a typical organization anywhere in the world—except India and a few South American and African countries—you actually are faced with two major issues: One, anywhere from 40-70% of your management team is expected to retire in the next five years; and second, when you look at your supply pool of available talent to take these critical roles, your Gen X population is in massive short supply and your Gen Y population is too young and not ready. In some respects it is a global demographic issue but, most importantly, my research clearly identified that the main issue is that most companies are not doing a good job looking deep into their organizations at younger individual contributors who possess the capability to become great leaders and future senior executives. There is massive leadership talent “hiding” in most organizations and these people need to be identified and developed.

This powerful program is based on John Mattone’s best-selling book, Talent Leadership. This program is for all leaders who want to create a winning talent culture as a foundation to driving superior operating results. Mattone’s proprietary “Stealth Talent Cultural” Model provides the foundation for attendees to learn about the critical talent cultural elements that predict operating success. These elements include:

•  Isolating target leadership competencies aligned with strategy; 

•  Creating and implementing a robust “Talent Deployment” capability–sourcing, screening, selecting and promoting top talent; 

•  Creating and implementing a strong “Talent Diagnosis” capability–being diligent in measuring the competencies, skills and capabilities of your talent; 

•  Creating and implementing a compelling “Talent Development” capability–providing the tools, processes and resources that unleash the potential of your talent; and 

•  Creating and implementing a world-class “Talent Demarcation” capability–accurately separating the A players, the B players and C players.

John Mattone states “Identifying and Developing Leaders and Future Leaders….Cited by CEO’s as the World’s #1 Business Challenge!” 

John makes it clear that “There is more due diligence done by companies when operating decisions are made than when talent decisions are made, yet the most critical variable in driving breakthrough operating performance is talent—how it’s deployed, measured, developed, and rewarded”.

Marshall Goldsmith, author of 31 books including The New York Times bestsellers MOJO and What Got You Here Won’t Get You makes it known that “John Mattone has developed a fool-proof method for identifying and developing leaders and prospective leaders”. As a JMG member this is what Dr. Lou delivers.

Transforming Culture The Road to Accelerating Reinvention & Renewal

Dr. Lou shares a power-packed presentation based on Cultural Transformations. The Mattone Method Blueprint from for Culture  revealing the critical steps that must be planned-out and executed in order for any organization to create and sustain a renewed, winning culture that engages, inspires and unleashes talent in support of driving breakthrough results.

“In Cultural Transformations, John Mattone has brought leader development to a new level through his unique interviews with some of the world’s top CEO’s….John and his co-author, Nick Vaidya were able to get these powerful executives to open-up and talk about how their values, character, and beliefs have had a dramatic impact on the organizational cultures they have created…this book is a powerful learning vehicle and must read for leaders, future leaders and all organizations that must transform to survive” –Marshall Goldsmith

Dr. Lou reminds us of John’s advise “As in medicine, in the world of transforming leaders, talent and organizational culture, the riveting reality is that prescription before diagnosis is malpractice”. 

Culture is the foundation from which successful organizations are built—however, most struggle to create an environment in which employees can be fulfilled, effective in their work, and feel “unleashed”. What exactly is it that makes some organizations achieve and sustain breakthrough success, while others struggle with cultural transformation…whether it involves crafting a new compelling vision and culture or merging cultures? The Mattone Method Blueprint for Culture is based on years of research and advising Fortune 1000 CEO’s and senior leadership teams by John Mattone who argues that the highest performing organizations both embrace and execute 6 critical steps to achieving positive transformation, but transforming culture always begins with a CEO who is both willing and able to “think big” and be bold while maintaining a heavy dose of “humility”. In this dynamic presentation, Dr. Lou details the essence of what is meant by the “vulnerability decision” as well as the other critical steps that must be executed in order for your organization to effectively accelerate its’ own reinvention.

Beyond explanation, however, this program will challenge you to reflect on, connect with, and accept both the “gifts” and development opportunities you possess.
