The model for leadership development is changing.

Generic competency models are being replaced by skill-based approaches and in-context practice. Creating a leadership journey focused on learner experience can help bridge the divide between training and on-the-job performance. That’s why improving leadership development is an L&D priority for the majority of corporate executives over the next year.

Personalized leadership training is not just best practice, but also a strategic imperative for organizations looking to cultivate a resilient leadership pipeline. Leadership engagement increased significantly when a large manufacturing company implemented training programs that offer unique learner journeys with experiences designed to develop prioritized capabilities for each leadership level. With the revamped approach—which is more aligned with the company’s business initiatives and customized to the needs of the learners—leaders can now get the training they need, when they need it.
