    Six Reasons Why Leadership Training Fails: A research review

    U.S. businesses spend more than $164.2 billion dollars on learning and development programs annually (1). However, according to Tannenbaum only 20 percent of these dollars result in transfer of learning or directly impact the company’s bottom line (2). Why?

    Big 5 Leadership: Learning from Africa’s most fascinating animals

    Domination and submission, survival of the fittest, constant adaption to change - the wilderness and the corporate world have many similarities. The more detailed we look into each world, its routines, rules and ways of communication, the more obvious it becomes how beneficial it would be if the corporate world could learn from nature.In some areas, such as product engineering it is already happening, but in the area of personal development of leadership and teamwork skills this opportunity is still sadly missed.

    Deliberate Leadership: What is your leadership style?

    Deliberate leadership is about being self-aware enough that you can be-purposefully wise, diplomatic, and intentional with competence, embracing the values (and behaviours) of accountability, reliability, and responsibility. Admittedly, there are hundreds of other definitions of leadership; they all vary somewhat in orientation, but most imply that the leadership process contains the element of influence, which is situational, in constant flux, and could be directed towards individuals, teams or organizations – all with the intent of achieving success.

    Take the Leadership Failure Test: Know who will make a great leader

    I have… seen things you people wouldn't believe… attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those… moments… will be lost in time, like [small cough] tears… in… rain. Time… to die… I love this final speech in Blade Runner, when the dying replicant Roy Batty makes this speech to Harrison Ford's character Deckard moments after saving him from falling off a tall building.

    Servant Leadership: The joy of giving

    I strive to be a true disciple of servant leadership throughout the year, and yet I admit that I fall short far too often. Our teams should be able to rely upon us throughout the year to lead them, challenge them, and prepare them to take on ever greater responsibilities.

    The Most Desired Skills of the Future: 3three things a leader can do
