Summary:
The Leadership Gap , based on its authors' 20 years of research and first-hand experience, puts senior managers and HR leaders on the fast track to building leadership capacity — within themselves, and their organizations. This engaging book's practical strategies and critical success factors focus both on improving existing leadership, and on developing leaders for the future. The Leadership Gap looks at why leadership is critical to an organization's competitive advantage, and discusses best practices for developing leadership at all levels of an organization. In addition, it outlines the Holistic Leadership Framework, a successful process for developing leaders in six key areas that drive business results; and contains many practical tools and strategies for succession management, retaining key talent, conducting a leadership capacity audit, and assessing the effectiveness of leadership development programs.
