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 leadership development posts on caboose coaching, hiring better, and closing the manager training gap.
From Julie Winkle Giulioni: The Latest Leadership Craze: Caboose Coaching
“What could be more helpful to a leader than having nearly 24/7 real-time access to an experienced coach who literally follows him or her around throughout the day? That’s what many organizations are providing in an effort to enhance leadership effectiveness and shorten time to productivity. And it’s called ‘caboose coaching’.”
From David Brooks: The Employer’s Creed
“The hiring process deeply affects the kind of people we have in our society. A little healthy bias in decision-making might cultivate deeper, fuller human beings.”
From Leanne Hoagland-Smith: Better Managers Begin with Better People
“Recently, our older son changed jobs because the incoming manager was a seasoned veteran, but a person of questionable character.”
From Cord Himelstein: The Manager Training Gap: Why Aren’t They Getting Help They Need?
“The American Society for Training & Development recently found that 26 percent of new managers felt unprepared to transition to a leadership role, with 58 percent saying they didn’t receive any training at all.”
