4 Choices That Result in Costly Leadership Misalignment

Every minute of every day someone makes a choice that will result in costly leadership misalignment.

U.S. companies pour over $200 billion into leadership development each year—yet only 10% see real results, according to Harvard Business Review. There are numerous reasons why, but a contributing factor is probably because most organizations focus on developing leaders… but not managing them for sustainable growth.

How Leadership Resources Management (LRM) is Like CRM

Leadership resources management (LRM) is a data-informed approach to strategically manage an organization’s leadership resources. CRM is a business strategy focused on managing and improving interactions to maximize the value of the customer relationship. They share several strategy similarities, although a great leader can impact an organization far more than any group of customers. When properly utilized, LRM helps an organization assign or promote the right person with the right leadership qualities to the right position at the right time.
