The Effective Leadership Development Community
Welcome to our community, an online knowledge portal for HR and L&D staff charged with developing leadership within their organisation. Please enjoy your visit and come back soon.
In today’s economic climate, effective leadership is more important than ever. A review of available research found that the quality of leadership in an organisation consistently accounted for between 20% and 45% of the difference in a company’s bottom line results. Clearly, leadership matters. It is a business imperative. Studies also show that companies that invest in executive development initiatives:
- Retain more high-performing leaders and staff (something we all want to do)
- Respond better to challenges and opportunities (we all have those)
- Deliver better bottom-line results (the reason your organisation exists)
Unfortunately, not all leadership development is worthwhile. The market is awash with management fads and questionable program design. Research shows that in the 3.7 million management training programs conducted in our country each year, less than 15% of what is learned makes any difference in a person’s on-the-job approach to leadership. The good news is that we know what works and what doesn’t…and that many of the most effective strategies are quite inexpensive.
Here you will find trustworthy advice on how to design, conduct and evaluate a range of effective development initiatives. You can:
