Strengthening the Leadership Pipeline & Closing Succession Gaps
Friday, October 31, 2025 | 9:00–10:00am EST
Join us for our upcoming TNS Roundtable, where we’ll explore one of today’s most urgent challenges: the leadership pipeline and succession gaps.
Organizations everywhere are facing thinner benches, mid-level attrition, and rising expectations for more inclusive, future-ready leaders. This session is designed to go beyond identifying the issues—together, we’ll exchange practical solutions and best practices that you can take back to your organization.
The TNS Roundtable leverages the wisdom, experience, and innovative ideas within our community of Executives, Heads of Talent, L&D, and DEI. Come share your best practices, learn from others, and network to deepen your connection with one another as we discuss this important topic.
What to Expect:
- Brief framing on leadership pipeline realities today
- Breakout discussions to exchange best practices
- Live capture of shared ideas, with a takeaway summary afterward
We at The New Standard: Shaping the Future of Leadership would love to have you join us!
