## Resource

C-suite leadership is changing as talent development leaders are gaining expanded responsibilities across learning, succession planning, engagement, and more. Many leaders are expected to be experts in talent development, pros at creating vision and strategy, and adept at AI—all while overseeing initiatives for the entire employee lifecycle. In other words, they're expected to be and do the impossible. In this episode of the Talent Development Leader podcast, Sara Daw—entrepreneur, researcher, and CEO of The CFO Centre and The Liberti Group—suggests practical solutions to these unrealistic pressures placed on TD leaders. She explores the rise of fractional leadership and the access economy and explains how TD leaders can use this new workplace context to their advantage. Listen here and learn about the Strategy and Leadership as a Service framework, a pragmatic approach that helps executives and organizations better adapt, thrive, and co-create sustainable value in this new era of work.
