As organizations adapt to an increasingly volatile and complex world, it is crucial that HR and Learning and Development (L&D) professionals ensure that leadership development keeps pace and employees have the right skills and capabilities to operate successfully in leadership positions. Accelerated Leadership Development shows how organisations can accelerate the career progression of their top talent and reduce the journey time from entry level to senior executive roles. It covers the entire acceleration process from how to identify which individuals are right for accelerated leadership development, to what roles are best suited for stretch assignments, and how to avoid burnout.
Packed with insights from HR experts and business leaders from across the globe, Accelerated Leadership Development shows how this type of development works in practice, what makes it successful and highlights the potential pitfalls to look out for. Debunking the myth that one size of leadership development fits all, this book includes specific guidance on how to tailor leadership development to women and millennials. Full of practical advice, tips and techniques, this is an essential book for anyone looking to develop their very best employees.
