Leadership training needed on the job, not in the classroom

摘要

In 2001, I commissioned research into the state of leadership development in the industrialised world. The news wasn't good. While billions of dollars were being spent annually on leadership development, the outcomes of this training were poor.rnAnother review in 2009 shows that, if anything, the situation has gotten worse. In a world of rapid discontinuous change and wicked problems, the majority of leadership training is still competency and skills based. These competencies and skills are based on what worked for leaders in the past.
