Managing Talent in Turbulent Times - Deloitte Consulting

Some significant insights on leadership in this report just released by Deloitte Consulting.

Some of the more important findings

• Nearly all executives surveyed “talk the talk” about the importance of leadership development and believe their companies have clear strategies in place to develop corporate leaders. Far fewer “walk the walk,” because they lack the necessary tools to make their leadership development programs more effective. As a result, manyadmit their pipeline of emerging leaders is less than robust.

• Companies heavily invested in leadership development— particularly those with “world-class” leadership programs—act and operate differently than their competitors. While many other companies are still focused on cutting headcount and managing costs, these organizations are effectively opening new career paths to their top performers and cherry-picking the best talent available in the marketplace.
