Having surveyed happiness with our Richmond Panel we thought that the Global Leadership Forecast 2011, produced by one of our customers, DDI, may be of interest to you.
Headline Findings:
- Only 35% of HR professionals believe leadership development quality is high
- Only 1 in 3 Leaders feel they are getting value from the development they receive
- Just over 1 in 3 organizations rate leadership quality as very good or excellent
- Only 1 in 4 HR people rate their leadership as good or excellent
- Only 18% of HR experts say they have the right leadership for the next 3 - 5 years
The top 5 critical skills for effective leadership are:
- Driving & managing change
- Identifying & developing future Talent
- Fostering creativity & innovation
- Coaching & developing others
- Executing organizational strategy
Only half of leaders rate themselves as effective at the 5 most critical skills.
Gary Hamel’s new book “The Future of Management” claims:
“Right now, your company has 21st century internet-enabled business processes, mid-20th century management processes, all built atop 19th century management principles.”
Doubtless Gary is promoting his book but he and the DDI report do offer food for thought.
