The Why in Leadership Competencies with Sara Lockhart

Talent Management Truths

“If you don't share those consistent expectations [with leaders], then you can't expect a consistent employee experience, right?”
-Sara Lockhart

In today's evolving business landscape, how is your organization prioritizing leadership development? Are your leaders equipped with the core competencies needed to navigate modern challenges, or are you grappling with shifting expectations? In today's episode, my guest and I explore the critical role of human-centric leadership in driving organizational success.

My guest is Sara Lockhart. Sara leads Softchoice's Talent Acquisition, Corporate & Sales Onboarding, Learning, Development & Talent Management, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. She is responsible for driving a highly engaged, inclusive culture through talent attraction, employee engagement & retention practices.

Sara's diverse and progressive leadership experience spans more than 25 years across organizations, including CIBC, Bell Canada and Softchoice, allowing her to inspire others, impart knowledge and lead impactful organizational change.

She is an active member of our Softchoice Employee Resource Community as a former Leading Women Co-Chair and current Orange Pride Executive Sponsor.

In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

• How Softchoice's 350 leaders are being equipped with essential leadership competencies to meet the demands of a post-pandemic world
• Insights into how to move leaders beyond theory and into real-world application
• Real-life experiences of moving laterally and how this can lead to significant growth and eventual promotions
