Leveraging Coaching and Mentoring to Create More Effective Leaders
Organizations with strong leadership development point to great leadership as key to their sustained business success. But leadership styles of the past are changing given the evolving needs of today’s workplaces. While some organizations continue to struggle with development programs that are exclusionary, generalized, and not aligned with their goals, others have increased the effectiveness of their leadership development by taking a different approach. These more successful leadership development programs align their leadership development to their organizations’ overall business strategies and create leaders more attuned to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals and hybrid and distributed workplaces, as well as other issues that resonate with today’s employees. Best practices contribute to their success, including making greater and more effective use of mentoring and leadership coaching and ensuring skill development is more inclusive and customized to the organization.
