Quotes From Developing Leaders and Leadership

• "Just because an activity is fun or enjoyable does not mean it is developmental. It perpetuates the predominant mindset that leadership development is a like a pass to an amusement park. You go on a bunch of rides, maybe play some games, have a laugh or two, and write it off as your developmental investment in leadership for the year."
• "Attending a few workshops or programs spread out over time is not going to do much in terms of developing expert-level leadership. There needs to be
  an ongoing commitment to practicing one’s leadership to get the time
  and amount of deliberate practice to become that expert leader."
• "The lack of evidence to support the effectiveness of leadership development in for-profit organizations and corporations is unsettling, to say the least."
• "Sending a changed person back into an unchanged system tends to be an exercise in futility. A systems perspective incorporates environmental influence into the design and delivery of leader development interventions."
