Leadership development may be the most important thing any company does. That’s why, every week, I review blogs and other publications that cover leadership development to find the very best leadership development posts. This week, you’ll find pointers to posts about leadership development and cultural fit, leadership development mistakes, and learning and leadership development.
From Richard Benson-Armer, Arne Gast, and Nick van Dam: Learning at the speed of business
“What digital means for the next generation of corporate academies.”
From DeAnne Aguirre, Per-Ola Karlsson, and Gary L. Neilson: From the Outside In
“Faced with volatility, more companies are looking beyond their own ranks to find new leadership.”
From Wharton: The Promise of Apprenticeship in a Slow-Growth Economy
“At a time when many U.S.-based industrial companies are struggling to create the workforces they need in order to compete in global markets, can apprenticeship programs play a more significant role in meeting their needs? All apprenticeship programs, whether online or classroom-based, will include similar elements: workplace learning; production in the workplace; and theoretical learning, all leading to an occupational certification that the individual is competent in their new field.”
From Sharlyn Lauby: Developing An Intentional Learning Culture
“Also speaking at the event is Chris Robbins, senior program leader with Southwest Airlines University and a learning performance professional with over thirty years of experience. In his role at Southwest, he is focused on the professional development of the University’s 300+ staff. I asked Chris if he would share with us some insights about the Southwest learning organization and, thankfully, he said yes.”
