Ep 404: Why Leadership Development Mostly Doesn't Work
From The Transformational Leader by Adam Quiney

About this episode
The episode discusses the limitations of traditional leadership development programs in achieving true transformation in leadership.
Most leaders have gone through at least one leadership program. And to be fair, it helps. You pick up frameworks, a new language, maybe even a few useful tools. But let's be honest, it isn't what we are looking for in the real transformation. What we are looking for is a shift in how you lead at your core. And that's the part most leadership development simply doesn't reach.
