Waco, TX. Oct 21, 2014 -Talent management solutions provider, Profiles International, has released a new white paper titled, “Why Leadership Development Fails (and How to Make it a Success).”
Leadership development can be generally defined as any activity that enhances the quality of leadership within an organization. It’s a simple concept, but all too often fails because of its inherently loose definition.
“In 2013, organizations spent approximately $164 billion on development programs,” said Michael Wilk, vice president of corporate marketing at Profiles International. “The industry is booming, but many organizations are not correctly utilizing and understanding the full capacity and impact of effective leadership development.”
“Why Leadership Development Fails (and How to Make it a Success)” outlines the main reasons for the failure of leadership development programs, as well as how to effectively develop leadership in an organization.
