The Compound Benefits of Investing in Leadership Development

Written by: Donna Thaxter, Training, Coaching and Professional Development Consultant

Good leadership is like a rare gem – you recognize it when you see it, but there's no one-size-fits-all formula for achieving it. In my professional journey, I've been fortunate to work with some exceptional leaders, and what set them apart was a combination of authenticity, an ability to communicate a compelling vision that captured not only our minds but also our hearts, and the capacity to deal with conflict head-on but with compassion. These factors combined created a unique "superpower" and resulted in highly engaged teams with strong alignment.

 “Leadership, like swimming, cannot be learned by reading about it.”  Henry Mintzberg

Becoming an exceptional leader isn't a journey you should embark on alone. Toughing it out in the school of hard knocks won't cut it. Forward-thinking companies understand the profound connection between effective leadership and a high-performing workforce, a positive culture, and enviable employee retention levels. These organizations actively nurture the growth of their existing and emerging leaders. They deliberately invest in their development by employing a mix of experiential group training, personalized coaching, and an internal mentoring framework.
