Book description
Studies consistently show that quality leadership development programs
pay off for companies -- in the form of shareholder returns, market
share growth, and sales. However, many companies have inadequate
leadership development programs. This book challenges traditional views
of leadership development with a perspective that focuses on recognizing
leadership as a source of competitive advantage. If you're a manager or
an HR leader,
The Leadership Gap
offers the practical, effective strategies you need to close the
leadership gap in your organizations, unleashing leadership potential
for better business results and a sustainable competitive advantage.
