This research project was specifically designed to engage the Fortune 500 and explore three
key leadership development areas:
1. Trends in leader development practices in high-performing organizations
2. Leader traits and behaviors essential to success in competitive industries
3. The business impacts of leader development
In-depth interviews were completed with business unit leaders, leadership development
practitioners and human resource professionals with findings that reveal clearly that flexibility
and adaptability are the keys to sustaining leadership development success. Many
organizations are moving away from standardized, set-piece leadership development super
structures. All companies surveyed deployed a wide array of leader development platforms,
but most identified best practices centered on leadership development techniques that are
real-time and real-life. Real-time practices emphasizing specialized and customized learning
interventions targeted to individual leader development needs; and real-life in the emphasis
on experiential and action learning practices linking leader development to actual business
challenges.
