Subject: ‘Leaders grow leaders’: RelaDyne’s Ken Pennington on developing IT talent

When you talk with Ken Piddington, his passion for growing leaders is obvious. He doesn’t view culture and people as side projects or HR’s responsibility. Instead, they are the foundation of how he leads and drives business impact.

On the podcast, we explored some of the teaching tools that help Ken lead, mentor, and multiply leaders. He also has a unique ability to assess talent quickly, align people to purpose, and set them up for success. In a Q&A for my CIO Whisperers column, we spent some more time discussing how he blends intuition with assessments, people data, and talent analytics to create a truly differentiated workforce strategy.
