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 C-Suite responsibility for leadership development, blended learning, and the performance benefits of leadership development.

From Sharlyn Lauby: Company Bottom Line Directly Relates To the Quality of Their Management
“The title of today’s post seems like a no-brainer, but it’s amazing how many organizations don’t invest in their management. These individuals are responsible for leading the organization.”
From Mary Stanton: The Sizzling Benefits of Blended Learning
“Greetings, learning teams. Here’s a news flash: many of you have a super learning tool at your disposal. It’s quite nimble, powerful and full of potential. This amazing learning tool is probably already at use in your organization. You may even call it by its fancy name: Blended learning. Simply put, blended learning uses a mix of training strategies (such as traditional classroom learning and online training) to deliver results.”
From Darleen DeRosa: How to Measure the ROI of Leadership Development
“CEOs want hard facts upon which to base the efficacy (and likewise, the value) of a leadership training and development program. They want quantifiable proof that success is directly related to training and not to some change in the internal or external environment such as a new product release, changes in technology or an improved economy.”
