Develop a Leadership Strategy to Drive Organizational Results
Strengthen organizational leadership by developing a clear vision of the leaders your organization needs to drive results.
Member Challenge
- Leadership development isn’t helping. Less than half of business leaders would describe the return from their leadership development efforts as good or very good (Korn Ferry Institute, 2015).
- The current operational context makes it more difficult than ever for leadership to be effective. The VUCA environment makes it challenging to make good decisions, organizations are not always set up to promote effective leadership, and some traditionally rewarded leadership behaviors are a liability for leaders today.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Building the organization’s leadership capabilities is not just about leadership development.
- Develop a strategy for leadership that is tied to the organizational strategy and takes into account today’s leadership needs in order to set the organization up for leadership success.
Impact and Result

- A vision for leadership and how it supports business strategies.
- Leadership competencies required to carry out these strategies.
