Leadership Development is Broken and How to Fix It

Organizations spend more than $366 billion annually on leadership development worldwide. Yet 75% of companies say their leadership programs are not very effective, and only 11% report having a strong succession plan to fill critical leadership roles.

To make matters worse, more than two-thirds of workers report that the worst part of their lives is their immediate boss. It’s clear that traditional leadership development programs aren’t working, but why?

During this session, we’ll consider how we got here and how we can get ahead. You’ll hear about how leaders fail, how traditional approaches to leadership development have failed leaders, and how you can avert leader failure within your organization.
