Leadership Development: What it actually means?
Leadership development is the planned building of the skills, behaviours and mindsets leaders need to deliver the organisation’s strategy — such as strategic thinking, financial acumen, change management, team leadership and stakeholder engagement. Consultants assess current leadership strength, identify gaps against the desired future state, and design programmes that combine learning, coaching, on-the-job assignments and performance feedback. This is especially important during rapid growth, post-merger integration or cultural shifts, when existing leadership capacity can become a bottleneck. Effective leadership development improves execution and succession, and increases employee engagement.
