Developing Leaders Through A Structured Leadership Development Program

Many organizations realize the importance of effective leadership to enable an organization to achieve its vision, mission and strategic objectives and to make the organization successful. These organizations place high priority on the training and development of their leaders at various levels and embark on leadership development programs.
Unfortunately, many organizations go for the so-called "quick wins" by conducting a 2-5 days leadership development program, believing this will solve their leadership issues and booster business performance. These organizations have got to be realistic as it is just impossible to develop and turn people into instant effective leaders in 2-5 days.
To develop effective leaders, a Structured Leadership Development Program is needed with a proper process and blueprint for implementation, the duration of which could be at least 6 months.

Thank you for your sharing, I absolute agree with you. Mostly management person be using short term plan to solve in big things. Poor process that we have but it might be good to start better than not allow us to do soming.
Keep going I believe someday they will understand Castle cannot build in a day.

Well said Wong !
The key reason why many organizations initiate such plans is for the simple reason that they have Training budgets (That they need to exhaust before the end of a financial year).
The truth remains that such programs does little good (and at times MORE HARM !) by telling people they have Leadership Potential.. and then taking them nowhere.
However, let me be honest, some organizations do appreciate the relevance and business impact a Good Leadership Development Program can have on their Overall Business.
With one of our clients we have engaged in a Year Long Development Program that includes a series of Assessments, Shortlisting of candidates and Multiple Development initiatives. With this client, we have used an adequate mix of psychometric evaluations, Assessment and Development Centers and Interviews at various levels that gives these people a holistic development opportunity ! ... The model is working very well for all these 'Leaders-to-be' !
