CEOs are increasingly becoming aware that, in the post GFC paradigm, leadership is the one last bastion of competitive differentiation and advantage. It follows that increased levels of budget are being allocated to leadership development (in-company workshops, and external executive development programmes). A multitude of ‘favourite’ proprietary surveys are adopted by the GMs of HR / People & Cul
ture in an attempt to measure ‘leadership effectiveness’. The problem: surveys sourced from different suppliers do not ‘talk with each other’. Many CEOs are now making the following observation: “How come we nearly won the Best Place to Work award, yet our business performance and profitability is heading south?”
