Leadership is a real driver of corporate profits.
The link between successful companies and effective leaders is strong, yet the supply of leaders capable of handling tomorrow's challenges weak. Correcting undesirable habits of present executives is not enough. Rather, identifying, developing and retaining leadership talent must be a business imperative. The gap between current leadership ideals and performance must be assessed, and future leaders, able to fill the gap and provide the necessary direction, carefully fostered. Plan leadership development to suit the organization's needs and strategic goals.
