Power to the People: Where Has Personal Agency Gone in Leadership Development?

摘要

It is true. Organizations routinely get lead-ership development wrong because of theirinsatiable hunger for short-term results.Senior executives fail to support leader-ship development because of the pressureput upon them for performance and deeplyheld beliefs about hard-wired talent. Andlastly, human resources (HR) departmentsare often helpless because they fail to con-nect to business processes and lack truedecision-making authority, and even whenthey have it, they focus on developing cum-bersome performance management systemsand competency models that do more toconfuse employees rather than provide aroadmap for future development.
