A Podcast with Stan Smith, Principal, National Director, Next Generation Initiatives Talent, Deloitte LLP
Stan Smith
Welcome to a special Career Connections edition of Total Picture Radio. This is Peter Clayton reporting. Joining us today in New York is W. Stanton Smith, National Director of Next Generation Initiatives at Deloitte LLP. His responsibility is to study demographic and workforce attitude trends with the purpose of coming up with practical ways to deal with their impact on Deloitte's businesses. He is the author of a new book titled Decoding Generational Differences: Fact, fiction... or should we just get back to work?
Based on a ten-year study of nearly 24,000 people in more than two dozen corporations, and with insights from such leading and diverse figures as Brian France, CEO of NASCAR, Reed Hoffman, Chairman of LinkedIn, Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, and Mike Eruzione, captain of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, Tribal Leadership is not only a fascinating look into the nature of organizations and human behavior, but an invaluable guide to understanding how todays top companies perform, how to develop both personal and team excellence, and why the success of any company comes from the strength of the tribes within.
Companies must develop their next generation of leaders.
