Leadership Development

“Too many business leaders today are out of touch with the employees they lead. Edelman estimates that one in three employees doesn’t trust their employer — despite the fact that billions are spent every year on leadership development. Part of the problem: Our primary method of developing leaders is antithetical to the type of leadership we need.

The vast majority of leadership programs are set curricula delivered through classroom-taught, rationally based, individual-focused methods. Participants are taken out of their day-to-day workplaces to be inspired by expert faculty, work on case studies, receive personal feedback, and take away the latest leadership thinking (and badges for their résumés). Yet study after study, tells us the qualities that leaders in today’s world need are intuitive, dynamic, collaborative, and grounded in here-and-now emotional intelligence. “

The mismatch between leadership development as it exists and what leaders actually need is enormous and widening. What would work better?What makes a great leader?

In this engagement (available as 1-on-1 executive training or group sessions) Lester casts away the typical static courses, and delves into how to build alignment, a winning mind-share and how to grow the capabilities of others in an interactive format that’s sure to enlighten and inspire.
