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 knowing yourself so you can know your team, leadership pipelines running dry, leadership development begins with care, and leadership development remains stalled worldwide.
From Manfred Kets de Vries: First Know Yourself, Then Your Team
“Understanding how an organisation works is not enough. To be truly effective, a leader must understand the unconscious motivations of people around them.”
From Ken Tysiac: Leadership pipelines may be running dry
“Companies whose leadership development was short-circuited by cost-cutting during the global financial crisis may be suffering the consequences now.”
From Julie Winkle Giulioni: Career Development Begins with Care
“Have you ever noticed that the first four letters of the phrase ‘career development’ spell ‘care’? Coincidence? I think not. Because, more than words on a page, care is at the very core of authentic and effective development.”
From Karen Higginbottom: Leadership Development Around The World Remains Stalled
“It’s tough to find an effective leader in the workplace. Only 40% of leaders rated their organization’s leadership as high, according to a global survey of 13,124 leaders and 1,528 human resource professionals by talent management consultancy DDI and the Conference Board.”
