Leadership Development

In order to sustain their competitive advantage and maintain a pipeline of talent, winning organizations understand the strategic importance of continually investing in professionals who are multi-faceted and possess a robust set of skills. At all levels of the organization, professionals must have the ability to collaborate and focus, thrive amid change, and inspire those around them. Increasingly, an external leadership development professional is the most effective catalyst to sharpen these skills.

When designing a project, The Yamartino Group (TYG) leverages a wide range of skills and experience including talent management, learning and development, needs assessments and curriculum design so that each assignment matches the client's precise learning needs.

More and more companies are discovering the advantages of leveraging on-the-job relationships for career development.
