Exodus of talent: Stop complaining, start developing your leadership talent pool

Deepal Sooriyaarachchi 

Losing of talent in the middle management is what keeps most Sri Lankan CEOs and CHROs awake. We have experienced an unpresidential loss of talent during 2022-2023 due to the economic crisis, unexpected higher personal taxes and above, all due to grave uncertainty about the future. Complaining about it does not change the status quo. But doing something about it will. 

This is exactly what CA Sri Lanka – the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka, the national body of accountants in Sri Lanka, has come forward to do with Results Based Leadership Organization of USA (RBL). Offering a cutting-edge international class leadership development program – Leadership Code based Leadership Academy, delivered by Deepal Sooriyaarachchi, one of the most sought-after leadership developers in the country.

The Leadership Code is the result of extensive research done by the world-renowned HR Guru Dave Ulrich et al to synthesise the core capabilities of leaders based on all the significant research and practical work available so far. 

The RBL Leadership Code is a research-based synthesis of the critical knowledge, skills, and attributes essential for effective leadership. It provides a unifying, contextual framework that translates the complex to the simple, the mundane to the meaningful, and the abstract to the actionable.

This six days of learning will be a strong foundation for senior managers to become effective business leaders from day one! Participants will gain deep practical insights and proven best practices that can be applied back at work.

The academy helps anyone to cut through the concept clutter and identify what every leader at whatever level of the organisation must Do and Be. Thus, the five leadership roles are identified as – Strategist, Executor, Talent Manager, and Human Capital Developer with the core being Personal Proficiency. 

The Leadership Code helps every leader to link his or her results to these capabilities.

The key features of this Leadership Academy are:

• A comprehensive learning experience over six days with world-class teaching material and methodologies
• Undertaking of a business project by the participants where what is learnt can be applied
• Option to create a Personal Development Plan (PDP) based on a 360 degree feedback, and one to one coaching
• Presented in Sri Lanka by Deepal Sooriyaarachchi – a consulting partner of RBL USA
• Only 35 will be enrolled to attend.

The RBL Leadership Code based Academy is being used in global businesses such as Unilever, Pfizer, Goldman Sachs, Boeing, Microsoft, Saudi Aramco, Samsung, Huawei, Dell, Coca Cola, etc.
