Leadership development is one of the areas that has recevied many platitudes but little action from companies over the last few decades. In a world where it’s easy to focus on short-term results, leadership development can seem like a luxury. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that you’re investing in your employees and making sure they have the skills they need to do their jobs effectively and efficiently.
What’s more, leadership development is also an investment in your company culture. When you invest in leadership training for your employees, you’re not only helping them be more effective and efficient workers but you’re also making them better leaders themselves. This means that when they go back into the trenches with their teams, they’ll be able to lead them more effectively because they know what works best in that particular situation.
Leadership is first and last in an organization ability to execute effectively and have equitable accountability throughout the organization. Leadership starts with vision, moves into strategy, tactics, execution, and feedback. It is not just “who” leads but also who follows or put another way, buys in. If there is no buy-in or poor following the leader has no credibility and the organization will begin to dismantle from the inside.
