by Gertraud Eregger in — July 2024
At Talentor International, we believe that great leadership is the key to navigating today’s fast-paced market changes. That’s why we launched the L4T (Leaders for Tomorrow) Program last year. Over the past year, seven rising stars in our partner organizations have embarked on a transformative journey, leading their teams through major shifts, tackling personal challenges, and working on strategic projects that have driven impressive growth.

Why We Started the L4T Program

So, why did we decide to kick off the L4T Program? Here’s the scoop:

  • Your Team is Your Greatest Asset: We know that the success of our recruiting business is tied directly to the strength of our team. Investing in the development of future and current leaders is the smartest investment we can make.
  • Learning Happens Outside Your Comfort Zone: True growth occurs when you step outside your comfort zone. The L4T Program creates a safe space for leaders to connect across different markets. This connection sparks a ripple effect of learning and growth.
  • Shared Stories: Seeing your own challenges mirrored in someone else’s experience can be incredibly validating.
  • Open Advice: It’s easier to seek advice from peers outside your immediate circle, and this program encourages exactly that.
  • Embracing Mistakes: We all make mistakes, and in this program, participants can discuss them openly and learn from each other.
  • Fresh Ideas: Exposure to different perspectives often leads to innovative solutions.

Our Unique Learning Approach

The L4T Program isn’t your typical leadership training. Here’s what sets it apart:

  • Reverse Learning: This approach turns traditional learning on its head by valuing the diverse perspectives within the group. Whether you’re a team leader, a rising talent acquisition consultant, or a senior consultant focused on strategy, everyone’s experiences and insights are valuable.
  • Diverse Group Dynamics: Our program thrives on the mix of personal and professional challenges shared by participants. This diversity enriches the learning experience, as everyone brings something unique to the table.
  • Top-Notch Speakers and Practical Integration: We bring in global keynote speakers to share their wisdom. But we don’t stop there – participants take these insights and apply them directly in their team meetings, performance assessments, and interactions with clients and candidates.

Highlights were the live leadership camp in Vienna in November 2023, when real conversations met top global speakers. The learning experience focused on the Power of our LinkedIn presence, on creating an uplifting feedback culture in our teams, boosting the entrepreneurial spirit and doubling down on an effective goal setting framework like 4Dx.

The Ripple Effect of the L4T Program

By investing in the L4T Program, we’re not just shaping individual leaders – we’re strengthening our entire organization of each of our partners. Our participants are better equipped to lead their teams through change, drive strategic initiatives, and achieve remarkable growth. The benefits of this program ripple outwards, creating a more resilient, innovative, and connected Talentor International.

The Strategic Projects focused the participants to create direct, positive impact in sales resulting in sales increases of up to 20-30% in new markets! Value propositions, new pricing models and strategic I&D workshops were developed.
