Building Leadership Development Programmes - by Nigel Paine (Paperback)

About the Book

Build leadership development programmes that deliver lasting value with this practical guide featuring best practice from experts in the field.

Book Synopsis

Most leadership development programs are organized with standard content usually delivered by companies set up expressly for that purpose. When judged on whether or not these programs achieve lasting impact and behavior change, they usually fail, as what is covered is often forgotten after the program ends. "Building Leadership Development Programmes" shows how leadership development needs to be more than simply running a course andchallenges the idea that leadership development cannot be measured.

Review Quotes

"[It] was a pleasure to read....There were some examples that I enjoyed in particular, such as the BP and the SeaSalt example, mostly because they were new to me and provided a lot of insight in how others approach big challenges.... I also LOVED chapter 11 (The Shape of the Future). It gave me a completely different perspective on the potential of AI and VR."-- "Mirjam Neelen, Sr. Learning & Development Consultant at Learnovate Centre"
