Leadership Development - Why Experience Is The Best Teacher

Leadership Development
The Lessons of Experience are the Best Teacher

What Keeps CEOs Up At Night?
“Leadership”, answered the President of one of India’s largest business conglomerates recently.
“Do we have the right skills and capabilities to pull our strategy off,” reported a Global 500 CEO.
“I worry that the current management team will not be able to take us where we need to go to next,” answered a third corporate leader.

Effective Development is Rooted in the Business
The keys to implementing an effective and sustaining leadership development process are:
Rooting it directly in the needs of the business
Engaging senior management in its creation
Integrating development into the performance priorities of individuals

A Personal Journey
Development is a very individualized process
People begin at different points and progress at different rates

Growth is Not Automatic
It also depends upon having the ability to learn, access to feedback, the open-mindedness to listen and the willingness to change
“Some people can have the experience and miss the meaning”
T.S. Eliot

It’s Embedded in Experience
Leaders learn as they expand their experiences over time

70% of capability is developed from work experience
20% from role models and mentors
10% from training and readings

Practice Improves Performance
“I took a great deal o’ pains with his education, sir; let him run in the streets when he was very young, and shift for his-self. It’s the only way to make a boy sharp, sir.”
