ISN'T LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT A JOB FOR HR?
“Many executives believe that leadership development is a job for the HR department. This may be the single biggest misconception they can have… Companies whose boards and senior executives fail to prioritize succession planning and leadership development end up either experiencing a steady attrition in talent or retaining people with outdated skills. Such firms become extremely vulnerable when they have to cope with inevitable organizational upheavals.”
