[047] – Talent Development in Practice

How are architects successfully bringing talent development into practice?

This week Amy Perenchio joins us to discuss talent development at ZGF Architects. Dedicated to the professional growth and development of the design staff at ZGF, Amy oversees the staffing and recruiting efforts for a group of 130+ designers and architects and works at the intersection of people and practice. 

In this moment of transformation and change, we are reminded that people are our greatest asset. In this episode, we’ll discuss how ZGF prioritizes talent development in its practice and why talent development is important for firms of all scales. We’ll also discuss communication and empathy in applied leadership.
