The Playbook for Developing Your Next Generation of Leaders
Award winning finalist in the Business: Management & Leadership category of the 2021 Best Book Awards sponsored by American Book Fest
It’s estimated that U.S. companies spend over $14 billion annually on leadership development –Match that number to the abundant and growing research that finds most leadership development to be ineffective, and the conclusion is a phenomenal amount of waste. The remedy for this situation is to have business strategy drive leadership development instead of creating programs that match a one-size-fits-all approach to leadership. This book’s approach, called Strategy-Driven Leadership Development (SDLD), puts business strategy first. It maintains an emphasis on building leadership programs around what it will take to make the business successful as opposed to implementing a program in the hopes that it will benefit the strategy.
