I am joined by colleagues from The Leadership Context, a boutique consulting firm that I have co-founded with several friends and Partners. Today, Carole Field, Greg Lourey, Allan Tillack and I take a deep dive into the reasons why leadership development programs fail. And they do fail, on a spectacular level!

We talk about the principles of:

• Swimming in the context to ensure we are addressing the right areas,
• Aligning the program to specific parts of the organisational strategy,
• Getting hyper-clear on a small number of objectives,
• Aiming for learning depth,
• Structuring groups to learn together which mitigates against losing the benefits when individuals leave the organisation,
• and myth busting mirrors!
