Here’s something that might absolutely astound you … it has been predicted that there will be a leadership shortage in the very near future. A study by Egon Zehnder International predicts a 36 percent shortfall in the number of managers ready for leadership roles by 2015.
Teleo Research also found that the most successful leadership development programs (a) recognised the type of leadership style needed for a company’s culture and (b) aligned leadership development with corporate strategy.
Its amazing that these concepts are now emerging quite strongly in the corporate world, because at Soarent Vision, we have been working on addressing this for almost a decade now. Through Soarent Vision’s Academy of Business Leadership the shift to more influential and persuasive leadership can be addressed as this is the style of leadership the shifting demographics of business is demanding today.
The only question that remains is are we ready to fill the void?
I’ve attended some of the leadership education with Soarent Vision and George and I have to say its absolutely fantastic.
So many people could use leadership training, but it takes much more than a single skill set. Emotional aptitude, communication and people skills are huge here.
