Mark Herschberg guest Mind The Innovation Leadership Podcast
In today’s world, organizations need to be proactive about leadership development. Leaders must develop their skills and abilities to meet the challenges of the future. Only two out of five businesses think they are developing leaders who benefit the company.
Leaders who adapt well are those who are quick to learn new things. Adaptation is a key part of leadership because you need to know when to change your approach based on what happens around you. You also need to be flexible enough to understand that people may behave differently depending on the situation or environment. Leadership development is an important part of change management.
The best thing you can do to improve your career is to keep learning and growing. Peer learning groups are an effective way for people to learn from each other. They help people develop their own ideas and opinions about things they care about.
