Ep 191: When leadership development goes wrong

In this episode, as part of our Sustainable Leadership series, Richard explores some of the many ways that leadership development activities can fail to deliver.

While it's often one of the most important people development investments an organisation can make, the results can fall of short of expectations for a variety of reasons. From a lack of evidence, over-reliance on fads, and use of 'motivational speakers', through to avoiding any kind of evaluation.

Let us know what you think about the leadership development you've experienced, or have been responsible for - we love to hear from listeners. Email us your questions and reflections at 'podcast at worklifepsych dot com'.

Thanks for listening!
