11. “The Problem With Leadership
Development,” CLO, May 22, 2014
§ Do LD programs produce positive changes in behavior and financial
results? We don’t know!
§ Who is a leader? Are they team- and results-oriented? Are they curious
learners?
§ Are LD programs ineffective OR
§ Are the wrong people leaders?

12. What the research tells us…

13. § 81% of CEOs - Leadership Dev less than highly effective
§ 65% CEOs are changing how they develop their pipeline
§ 63% of senior leaders lack the required abilities to achieve critical
results
§ 87% DO NOT measure the impact of LD performance
§ Over half of C-Suite execs don’t believe their direct reports have the
skills to become part of the C-suite
§ Only 13% of companies do an excellent job developing leaders
Many sources, similar findings

14. Future Trends in Leadership Development
CCL White Paper
“Leaders are no longer developing fast enough
or in the right ways to match the new
environment”
