While leadership training is the #1 priority for 2014, many organizations still struggle to get adequate funding for training initiatives.
71% of respondents to a recent McLean & Company survey stated that they believe their current leadership development to be ineffective.
Many leaders don’t even know where to begin when it comes to inspiring their staff. They think being a great leader is something you’re “born with” and feel that being inspirational is beyond their reach. Others simply don’t know effective methods to transition beyond motivating their teams to inspiring them.
