Leaders Deserve Better: A Leadership Development Revolution - Hardcover

by Jennifer Mackin (Author)

LET'S GET REAL:
The vast majority of leadership development programs don't work. Not only do they feel irrelevant--failing to address the issues that keep leaders up at night--even when they are on point, without built-in opportunities for leaders to practice what they've learned, those lessons don't stick. To cultivate better leaders--ones who can serve as the next generation of senior management, bring business to new heights, and stay with the organization long enough to create lasting change-- we need a better solution. Leaders Deserve Better is that solution.
Relying on her experience working with leaders, Jennifer Mackin begins by laying out the problem with standard development practices using real-life examples that illustrate the impact of inadequate development. She gives readers a glimpse of the myriad benefits of a better--and entirely revolutionized--approach, offering tools for leaders to conduct their own assessments to discover the gaps in their programming. Armed with these insights, senior leaders can ignite their own leadership development revolutions that support the effective development that all leaders deserve.
