Many organizations grapple with the challenge of growing young talent whose capabilities can scale with the company's growth. Due to the pace of change and the challenging employment market, companies face the need to fast track the identification and development of leadership talent. Larcen's Leadership Development Program enables companies to assess and develop middle and first-line managers through intensive training, the equivalent of a leadership boot camp.

~Management Buy-in~
Concentric Networks Corporation, an integrated Internet solutions provider that recently merged with NEXTLINK, is investing in its future with Larcen's bench strength Leadership Development Program. At Concentric, 126 Vice Presidents, Directors, and Managers are completing the Leadership Development Program. Henry Northaft, CEO, as well as all members of the Senior Management Team, actively endorsed the effort. Senior management believes the development of young leaders is critical to Concentric's growth and success.

~Measurable Success~
For Scientific Atlanta, another Larcen client, our Leadership Development Program has resulted in substantial improvement in employees' evaluations of their managers and supervisors. In a before and after comparison, we found that managers' ratings increased an average of 20%.

~Key to Employee Retention~
A recent extensive Gallup poll on employment issues indicated that approximately 75% of individuals who leave a company do so because of their bosses. Developing the leadership abilities of managers and supervisors is critical to employee retention. Our Leadership Development Program can assist your organization in the fight to develop young leaders and keep talented employees.
