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  posts. This week, you’ll find pointers to posts on improving training, developing a change-leader mindset, and how to improve leadership development.
From Kevin Eikenberry: New Training Strategies for a New Day
“When you keep that distinction: learning vs. training in mind, you will be able to make far better decisions about the validity and value of the latest trends and supposed ‘breakthroughs’ in training approaches.”
From Sharlyn Lauby: Help Employees Take Charge of Their Learning Needs
“The key is pretty simple: make the connection between learning and performance by placing the development of learning needs in the hands of the learner. In this case, that’s the employee.”
From Edith Onderick-Harvey: Developing A Change Leader Mindset
“Trite but true, change is the only constant. Having spent over 25 years working with leaders and companies to create change, I’ve decided we are approaching change all wrong. Our approach has always been focused on managing change. Our mindset needs to be on leading it.”
From Harvey Schachter: How to improve your development program
“The best form of leadership development is taking a risk on the protégé, says consultant Julie Winkle Giulioni.”
