Overview• Purpose of this Discussion• Cost of Leadership• Core Leadership Assumptions• Working Definitions• Issues Impacting Leadership Effectiveness• Leadership Development Example• Additional Resources
PurposeThe purpose of this discussion is to examine leadership development, what it is and what it is not, its costs and benefits, issues impacting its effectiveness, an example, and additional resources.
Cost of LeadershipAmerican companies spend about $24.5 Billion/Year on Leadership Development programs – 35% of $70 Billion spent on training annually
• 60 percent of all companies cite “leadership gaps” as their top business challenge – from front-line supervisors to executives
• Global expansion, rapidly expanding technologies, and capability gaps drive leadership development needs – especially for Millennials

Cost of LeadershipFrom front-line supervisors to executives, “lousy” bosses, leaders and managers present a real and present danger to employee engagement, productivity, and profits.
According to Gallup, employee engagement levels in the United States have remained stagnant the year 2000.
• 30-percent are Engaged (Involved, Enthusiastic and Committed)
• 50-percent are Not Engaged (Present but Uninspired)
• 20-percent are Actively Disengaged (Outright Saboteurs) Source: State of the American Workplace: Employee engagement insights for U.S. business leaders by Gallup, 2013, http://employeeengagement.com/

Core Leadership Assumptions• Leadership is contextual and is influenced by culture.• Leadership competencies can be learned and developed.• Leadership development is a lifelong process.• Leadership does not require a formal position.• Leadership is inclusive.• Leadership development is grounded in the awareness of strengths.• Understanding the civic and global dimensions of leadership is essential.• Leadership is ethical and is values-driven.• Leadership directly and profoundly impacts employee engagement, work performance,
business results, and profitability.

Working Definitions• Leadership is a process of social influence, which maximizes the efforts of others,
towards the achievement of a goal (Kevin Kruse, Forbes, 2013).
• Followership is the ability to take direction well, to get in line behind a program, to be part of a team and to deliver on what is expected of you (John McCallum, Ivey Business Journal, 2013).
• Development: Development prepares people for additional job roles for the long term; it refers to more personalized, individualized growth experiences, such as a certification process, job rotation period, coaching or mentoring (Tara Duggan, Chron, 2015).
• Training is the process by which people are taught critical skills to improve their performance in the short term. (Tara Duggan, Chron, 2015) .
Issues Impacting Leadership Effectiveness
• Failure to provide enough leadership development across multiple levels in the organization.
• Too many ad hoc, sporadic, or overly compressed frontline manager leadership development programs that inadequately cover critical responsibilities.
• Failure to build an organizational culture that enables, supports and rewards positive leadership behaviors.
• Lack of Mentoring and Coaching from Experienced Leaders. • “Do What I Say, and Not What I Do” – Failure to Lead By Example.• The “One and Done” Leadership Training Mentality.• Investing too little too late into developing young leaders.• Little or No Accountability for the results of leadership development programs.
Leadership Development Example
• PolyWrighton manufactures high quality, lightweight plastics used to package food, beverage and personal care products
• Complex, massive, hazardous machinery used to process tons of toxic, flammable chemicals under high heat and pressure
• Rigorous hygienic, chemical and environmental safety standards and specifications leave very little room for error
• Raw materials are expensive and frequently in short supply, making reduction of product waste and rework imperative
• New owners wanted better operational and financial performance
