PepsiCo Adding Breadth to Talent Depth with Critical Experiences

As a leadership consultant, trainer and executive coach, it’s clear that leading in the current corporate environment is much different than it was even 10 or 15 years ago. Today, management at Fortune 500 companies is often uncertain how to best develop its top talent as requirements for success rapidly change. To address this issue, I recently spoke with Taylor Flake, PepsiCo’s Vice President of Human Resources and Talent Development for PepsiCo North America Beverages. Taylor is responsible for leadership development, among many initiatives, for roughly 55,000 employees in the company’s beverage division. My question? What was this world-leading food and beverage company doing to prepare its best and brightest during these uncertain times?
