LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY: THE MISSING LINKS

QUESTION 1

Leadership is essential for enhancing business performance and gaining competitive advantage.  This  necessity has accelerated the focus on leadership development within organizations.  Leadership development  involves expanding the collective capacity of organizational members to generate direction, alignment, and commitment.

Please provide a narrative based on your understanding of leadership development, using the statements provided above.  [10 marks]

QUESTION 2

It is clear that, despite the widespread  focus on leadership development, there is a significant gap in having a well-defined leadership development strategy.  The  issues of misalignment with business goals, insufficient support from leadership, lack of learning opportunities, and failure to meet individual aspirations are evident, yet their significance is often underestimated.

Examine the gaps in leadership development and propose effective solutions to address them.   [10 marks]

QUESTION 3

The most effective leadership development strategy aligns with business needs, engages stakeholders, defines leadership in context,   supports participants’ aspirations, and integrates HR processes.

Please discuss and outline future directions for leadership development.   [10 marks]
