According to the American Society of Training and Development, U.S. businesses spend more than $170 Billion dollars on leadership-based curriculum, with the majority of those dollars being spent on “Leadership Training.” According to McKinsey, “there is no silver bullet for successfully developing leaders—more than 40 key actions must be taken to increase chances of success to 80 percent” As a leader interested in developing or as an organizational leader interested in developing people working for you, it is important to have good information about how to select a leadership development program. There are plenty of opportunities to spend your money from one day classes to online programs to comprehensive university programs – how do you make the best decision to ensure you are investing your time and money wisely and that you have a high probability of success from your investment. This interview explores how to develop a broad range of leaders at all levels of an organization.
