Tips

• Ground leadership programs in your organization's specific leadership competency model and business strategy.
• Use multi-method assessment (360-degree feedback, simulations, business case presentations) for fuller leadership evaluation.
• Ensure executive sponsors are visible champions of leadership development to signal its strategic importance.
• Measure program impact with pre/post assessments and 6-12 month follow-up to track behavior change.
• Create peer learning cohorts within leadership programs — leaders learn as much from peers as from facilitators.
