Send to KindleWhat Leadership Development Does
I was reading an article recently that talked about how leadership development was about selecting the next senior leader. And while that sort of thing is important in leadership development, there’s another part that is just as important, and that’s making sure that the junior managers and supervisors receive good leadership training in the fundamentals of leading people. I was watching an interview on meettheboss.tv, which by the way, is a good place to pick up some tips on leadership. The interview was with Liane Hornsey who is a vice president at Google. She said something that amazed me. She said that she had been a manager for 15 years before she really understood how to manage. Think about how much sooner she would have been so much more successful if she had had a basic leadership development program that taught her the fundamentals of leading people. Your leadership development program is more than just picking your next senior leader, but just as importantly making sure that those new leaders, those managers and supervisors, understand the fundamentals of leading people. And that’s what makes them successful and makes you successful.
So what are you doing to make your leaders succeed?
