- Leadership development isn't helping. Less than half of business leaders would describe the return from their leadership development efforts as good or very good (Korn Ferry Institute).
- The current operational context makes it more difficult than ever for leadership to be effective. The VUCA environment makes it challenging to make good decisions, organizations are not always set up to promote effective leadership, and traditionally rewarded leadership behaviors are a liability for leaders today.
