Welcome to 2007! A fresh look at trends in Talent Management
I am excited to begin the New Year with confidence in the ability of today’s business executives to capitalize on the single most important strategic capability available to them: leadership. Not just top down leadership, but nimble, empowering leadership that is both energizing and essential to 21st century business teams.
I am also excited about our services focusing on the many facets of leadership and performance. As pioneers in the art and science of maximizing human behavior in business, BeamPines has stayed contemporary. Building upon the foundation of our world-class assessment capabilities, we are dedicated to responding to your needs and developing effective solutions.
While we continue to support our client’s near term needs, we are ready to respond to the expected retirement of some 16 million Baby Boomers in the next three to five years. We all know this is happening but do we know the impact on the job market?
We do know, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, the group over 55 will make up 16 percent of the workforce by 2008. We also know that the entering leadership pool is much smaller than the group it is replacing, significantly dropping by over 3 million. Simply put, there will be fewer senior leaders available. Our clients are now, more than ever, asking us about our services in Succession Planning and Executive Assessment as a response to the trend in transitioning talent. But it’s not all about replacement; it’s about retooling the relationships with the existing leadership ranks and integrating teams with multiple generations seeking to fulfill their high expectations.
Identifying, developing and retaining top talent is the only way for you to succeed in this marketplace and we are positioned to help. Our menu of services has expanded to include designs for strategic executive retreats, team building and leadership workshops. Our one-of-a-kind approach to Women’s Leadership development is receiving unprecedented praise and inspires us to once again raise the bar in the field of Executive Coaching.
I encourage you to check back with us soon as our website will keep you informed of business trends and additional leadership development services. Good luck and thank you for your interest in BeamPines.
Best wishes,
Jay Santamaria
