Step Up to Leadership Resources Management for 2023

Organizations spend billions of dollars each year on leadership development programs, but very little, if anything, on managing the leadership resources they developed.

PSST! The Leadership Gaps are Coming from Inside Your Organization!

You are probably very familiar with the well-worn old horror movie trope where people are receiving threatening calls from someone only to find out that the calls are coming from inside the house? Of course, you would have to suspend reality because when this trope was first used, the people were still only using landlines. Someone calling you from inside your house using your landline was impossible.
