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 group coaching, telling the truth about talent, stress testing future leaders, and the business side of leadership development.
From Manfred Kets de Vries: Group Coaching: Tipping Points for Change
“Executive teams with their different cultures, styles, agendas and often clashing egos, can be a hotbed for unrest. Sometimes even the most talented groups need a little help.”
From Steve Roesler: Tell The Truth About Talent
“If you want to be the person who offers real value in a Talent Management discussion, then be the person who demands the truth about performance.”
From Gerard Seijts, Mary Crossan, John Mercer, and Lawrence Stevenson: Stress testing the character of future business leaders
“Early one morning late last summer, a bus load of ambitious Ivey Business School students departed from Western University’s campus in London, Ontario, and headed north for a unique course on leadership. The individuals in question were not exactly sure what to expect when they arrived at their destination—Canadian Forces Base Borden.”
From Stephen Smith: Leadership Development. It’s not (just) personal; it’s business
“my industry – and the human resources profession as a whole – has a tendency to shoot ourselves in the collective foot by often acting as though leadership development and commercial development run on two separate tracks within an organization.”
