Leadership development:Increasing impact, breadth and depth

Has anything changed?


Strong Opinions... lightly held.AJP Taylor

I always remember the regent's axiom: a leader, he said, is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go on ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realising that all along they are being directed from behind.

21,000 people

20,000 people


The challenge• The war for talent• Our VUCA world• The need for leaders to keep learning all the time• The cost of conventional leadership development• The need to provide leadership training deeper into organisations• The need to make leadership training specific to sector or

organisation so learners can apply learning immediately maximising workplace relevance and impact.


Question

How many of you supply leadership development at all the following levels?

?

• 81% offer leadership development programmes to those in director or senior manager roles

• 94% offer to middle managers• 90% offer to frontline managers• 79% offer to future leaders

Question

Can leadership be taught??


Can Leadership be taught?The illusion is obstinate and enduring: A mortal is seemingly anointed by the gods and is stamped with a unique gift that allows him or her to lead others.

This person shines irrepressibly, and other mere mortals are compelled to follow.

As prevalent as this notion is, it is demonstrably false, and any person who has seriously studied leadership has found that it is not a predetermined affair.

There is a trend here...• In 2011, 37% were not offering leadership training to future managers/leaders.

• In 2015, this proportion has fallen to 11%

• In 2011 fewer than 5% were offering online only options.

• In 2015 this has increased to 26%

• In 2011, 58% of all delivery was entirely classroom-based.

• In 2015, this has fallen to 41%
