Leadership is no longer a top-down intervention but a working culture that businesses must adopt to flourish. With a potential shortage of 40 million high-skilled workers by 2020 (Mckinsey, June 2012), increasing competition for top talent and a growing crisis regarding the lack of future leaders, it’s time to take hold of the leadership crisis. This presentation from LEO's Chief Strategy Officer Piers Lea covers:
-The challenges of leadership within today’s diverse workplace
-Benefits of growing leadership skills throughout an organisation
-What technology enabled leadership development looks like
-The large scale blend that can make it happen
-The power of accreditation and external/ industry thought leadership

Strong Opinions... lightly held.

I always remember the regent's axiom: a
leader, he said, is like a shepherd. He
stays behind the flock, letting the most
nimble go on ahead, whereupon the
others follow, not realising that all along
they are being directed from behind.

The challenge
• The war for talent
• Our VUCA world
• The need for leaders to keep learning all the time
• The cost of conventional leadership development
• The need to provide leadership training deeper into organisations
• The need to make leadership training specific to sector or
organisation so learners can apply learning immediately
maximising workplace relevance and impact.

Can Leadership be taught?
The illusion is obstinate and enduring: A mortal is
seemingly anointed by the gods and is stamped with a
unique gift that allows him or her to lead others.
This person shines irrepressibly, and other mere mortals
are compelled to follow.
As prevalent as this notion is, it is demonstrably false,
and any person who has seriously studied leadership has
found that it is not a predetermined affair.
15. There is a trend here...
• In 2011, 37% were not offering leadership training to future managers/leaders.
• In 2015, this proportion has fallen to 11%
• In 2011 fewer than 5% were offering online only options.
• In 2015 this has increased to 26%
• In 2011, 58% of all delivery was entirely classroom-based.
• In 2015, this has fallen to 41%
