"Leadership Development for What?" What are we developing leaders to be or do? When/where/how do we distinguish between educating, training, and developing leaders and/or processes of leadership?  This podcast adaptation delves into the complexities of leadership development, posing the critical question: "Leadership development for what?" With global investments in leadership programs, panellists explore the ultimate purpose behind them, considering whether the goal is personal advancement, organisational growth, or driving social change. Featuring perspectives from leadership scholars, Indigenous educators, and practitioners, the discussion emphasises the importance of mentorship, values-driven leadership, and addressing real-world issues like equity, justice, and climate action. The podcast challenges the status quo, calling for leadership development to be more inclusive, purpose-driven, and focused on creating meaningful impact in today's complex world.

Today's episode features a discussion with Karl Brockman and his views on developing leaders and entrepreneurs.   Timestamp 0:00-1:22: Introduction 1:23-7:43: Is leader or entrepreneur development an important process? If the process is important why is that so? If not, why not? 7:44-33:42: In 2019 a Harvard Business Review article by Moldoveanu and Narayandas noted there are three main reasons for the disjointed state of leadership development: (1) A gap in motivations whereby organisations invest in executive development for their own long-term good, but individuals participate in order to enhance their skills and advance their careers, and they don't necessarily remain with the employers who've paid for their training. (2) The second is the gap between the skills that executive development programs build and those that firms require particularly the interpersonal skills essential to thriving in today's flat, networked, increasingly collaborative organizations. Traditional providers bring deep expertise in teaching cognitive skills and measuring their development, but they are far less experienced in teaching people how to communicate and work with one another effectively. (3) The third reason is the skills transfer gap. Simply put, few executives seem to take what they learn in the classroom and apply it to their jobs and the farther removed the locus of learning is from the locus of application, the larger this gap becomes. 33:43-36:51: What's your view of these gaps taking into account the impact of the pandemic? 36:52-42:47: In your experience, what does effective leader / entrepreneur look like? 42:48-48:43: What advice can you share to help develop leaders and/or entrepreneurs? 48:44-49:05: Concluding remarks The Future of Leadership Development: Gaps in traditional executive education are creating room for approaches that are more tailored and democratic, Mihnea Moldoveanu and Das Narayandas (2019), Harvard Business Review: https://hbr.org/2019/03/the-future-of-leadership-development
