Is something rotten in the state of leadership development?
Research paper by LeaderSpace Managing Director Richard Boston and Nick Holley, Co-Director of Henley Business School’s Centre for HR Excellence
There’s a lot of leadership development going on out there, but is it working? We spent two days discussing this challenge with HR and talent leaders at Barclays, B&Q, the British Army, Deloitte, GSK, Kingfisher, KPMG, Mercedes-Benz, Microsoft, the UK’s NHS, Oracle, Oxfam, Panasonic, Shell, Siemens, Vodafone and a range of other organisations. The result: four key principles for leadership development. These promote developing teams, not just individuals, and helping existing leaders to develop the leaders of the future.
