Creating Leaders: Effective Programs | Human Capital Adviser

A successful leadership development program produces positive change at all levels of an organization. It changes how employees perceive their leaders, deal with uncertainty as well as opportunity, meet customer needs, and set expectations for growth. For managers, it alters how they deal with complex problems, engage and motivate their people, link the organization’s vision to their team, and enhance performance. It grants a manager the tools necessary to grow from knowing how to manage a few to leading many. Within the organization as a whole, it assists with setting the standard for success, aligning resources with desired outcomes, improving the quality of decision-making, increasing collaboration, and addressing how best to interact with our environment. In the most basic sense, a successful leadership development program empowers employees, managers, and the organization to reach their full potential.
