How do you keep newly hired, young professionals connected and motivated, especially in a hybrid environment? In this highly interactive session, we will explore what new hires want most from their jobs and how to meet their needs in a hybrid work environment. We’ll share best practices and the latest research on new employee engagement and give you strategies for on-boarding and developing new talent in our “new normal.”
Keith Rollag is a Professor of Management and former Dean of the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business at Babson College. His research focuses on newcomer on-boarding and leadership development, and his book What to Do When You’re New: How to Be Comfortable, Confident and Successful in New Situations was heralded as one of the “Best Books of 2015” by Success Magazine.
Sometimes the outward focus of leadership is obscured in the corporate world’s high-touch approach to building young leaders. New U.S. Marine Corps officers dedicate 10 months to “servant leadership” training before ever having the privilege to lead Marines. What are the fundamental leadership principles taught during this training, and why are they critical? How might these principles be incorporated into your own LDP curriculum? Join Ryan McCool, a former Marine and LDP participant, on the journey to becoming a Marine Officer, leading Marines, and discovering a selfless leadership philosophy that can elevate talent in your program and in any organization.

Join Jordan Blair-Paladino for a dive into the most recent findings on this important topic.
