The Evolution of Leadership Development: Insights from the Field (Research Note)
Brandon Hall Group’s Research Note examines the persistent challenges in corporate leadership development programs. Despite consistent prioritization, organizations struggle to create effective, lasting leadership training initiatives. Key findings highlight a disparity between first-time manager training (which tends to be structured) and director-level development (which lacks consistency).
The research emphasizes that 70% of traditional leadership competencies may be misaligned with actual leadership effectiveness, with employees valuing emotional intelligence over task management skills. The note also addresses technological integration challenges, particularly regarding AI implementation, and emphasizes the importance of early leadership development and alignment with senior leadership vision. However, a significant gap remains between leadership development theory and practical implementation.
