During DiversityInc’s Top 50: Leadership Accountability event on Nov. 4, DiversityInc CEO Carolynn Johnson led a fireside chat with Keybank Chairman, CEO and President, Chris Gorman on the subject of talent readiness in the corporate world. Gorman, whose company ranked No. 35 on The DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity list in 2020, spoke about a number of key talent readiness principles including making sure you have an ample pool of internal candidates to promote from; figuring out the best methods for moving top employees around internally within an organization to guarantee maximum growth and profitability; and much, much more. Here’s a look back at their conversation.
Carolynn Johnson: Thank you for joining us here today, Chris. For those who don’t know, can you just briefly talk with us about how you describe talent readiness?
