Are your organization's leadership development efforts falling short? You're not alone. Despite the billions spent annually on leadership training, many programs fail to produce meaningful results. We're tackling this critical issue in our upcoming free webinar, “3 Hurdles When Implementing a Leadership Development Program & How to Avoid Them.” Join us on Thursday, June 26 at 9 a.m. CT to discover practical strategies that will help ensure your leadership development programs deliver the results you need.
You Can’t Afford Ineffective Programs
We chose this topic because it’s one that keeps executives and HR leaders awake at night. The statistics paint a troubling picture. Companies globally invest massive resources in leadership development, yet many organizations still fail to meet their leadership standards:
About 75% of employees believe their managers are ineffective.
Leader and manager effectiveness is a top priority for 60% of HR leaders.
Only 12% of companies are confident in the strength of their leadership bench.
More than three-quarters of companies believe they are experiencing a leadership gap.
Meanwhile, more than half of organizations with effective leadership development programs at all levels report being in the top 10% of their industry's financial performance (54%), compared with just 31% for organizations with effective programs at only one leader level. The business case for getting leadership development right is clear.
The Human Toll of Unprepared Leaders
Beyond financial considerations, ineffective leadership development has profound human costs:
84% of respondents in a Society for Human Resource Management study said poorly trained managers create stress and extra work.
Ineffective leaders even hurt employees’ health.
More than half of managers feel burned out, partly because they lack the training and preparation needed to excel in their roles.
These statistics highlight why leadership development can’t be treated as just another HR initiative. It's a strategic imperative that directly affects employee engagement, retention, and business performance.
