The ROI of Leadership Development
In a survey of over 2,500 leaders from companies in 94 countries, developing leadership was rated as the most urgent internal issue facing the organization – by far.
And when it comes to developing leaders, it’s not about just developing senior executive leaders, but developing leadership capacity at ALL levels of the organization. Organizations know they need to be doing this.
"We're trying to help people think about leadership differently, as something we practice, not just who we are. Every leader should continually grow their leadership toolkit."
- Dr. Nathan J. Hiller
Academic Director of The Center
