Recommendation

Long-term organizational success depends on quality leadership. Most organizations don’t have enough leaders or a deep enough “leadership bench” of junior leaders. Leadership expert Mark Miller explains why quality leadership is crucial, how organizations can develop a robust leadership culture and what best practices your company should pursue for effective leadership development.

Bypassing the novelette, getAbstract recommends the meat-and-potatoes value here – solid principles you can use to develop a stronger leadership bench.

Define Leadership

The meaning of “leadership” itself varies from organization to organization. Work to forge an agreed-upon companywide definition so you don’t foment uncertainty about the people you need to recruit for managerial positions. Lack ...
