The Edge:
Unlocking Potential

Future Leaders

Every organization needs a pipeline of talented individuals ready to step into leadership roles. Our Rising Stars Development program is inspired by the principles in “The Edge: How to Stand Out By Showing You’re All In” by PeopleWorks partner Adam Tarnow and David Morrison. We focus on identifying high-potential employees and providing them with the skills, mindset, and opportunities they need to thrive and lead. The Edge is the cheat sheet to career success your high potentials have been searching for.
