4. Leadership and Learning

What it’s about: There is a strong link between leadership and learning, and this guide explains that link – where engagement fits into the mix, and how the organisational learning environment can act as a brake or an accelerator on the effects of leadership.

Who it’s for: L&D professionals or those involved with talent management programmes, to provide focus on an often ignored aspect of employee development that can easily derail even the best programme.

If your employee development programmes are not quite getting the results you had hoped for, this might be the reason. And the good news is, it can be fixed. The quality of leadership in an organisation has a direct impact on how engaged people are and thus how motivated they are to learn and change.

Organisations are complex systems and there are dependencies that come into play. Leadership is often seen as the answer to all sorts of problems, but leadership does not stand on its own as a panacea.

In this essential guide, Paul looks at the role leadership plays in learning and gives you practical tools to improve your offering when it comes to talent management and employee development programmes.
