Leadership – Made or Born?

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born. Warren G. Bennis, from his book; On Becoming a Great Leader

Overall ImpactCompanies reporting strong leadership development programs are 1.5 times more likely to be found atop Fortune Magazine's “Most Admired Companies” list.

-Consulting Psychology Journal, 2003, “The Return on Investment of Leadership Development: Differentiating our Discipline”

Among employees who say their company offers poor development opportunities, 41% plan to leave within 12 months (versus only 12% who rate their opportunities as excellent). High turnover isn't cheap - the cost of losing

a typical worker is approximately $50,000. For managers, the cost is much higher.

-Business Week, 2009

Productivity Impact

American Express Leadership ROI Study 2010

Financial Impact• Average increase of 5.2% in per employee productivity; valued

at $44,380 per employee • Average increase of 16.3% in cash flow; valued at $9,673 per

employee • Average increase of 6% in market value; valued at $8,882 per

employee • Increase company-wide profit margins by as much as 47%. • Increase in sales (up to 6.5%) • Notable decrease in turnover -Jackson Leadership Systems, Inc., 2006, “Leadership Development ROI: Using Talent Management to Drive Market Value”-Consulting Psychology Journal, 2004,“The Return on Investment of Leadership Development: Differentiating our Discipline”

Talent Development Reporting Principles

• What data should we collect and how should the measures be defined?

• What do CFOs, CEOs and other senior leaders want to see and how should it be presented?

• How can we show the important role learning plays in achieving organizational goals?

TDRp addresses the vital need for enhanced executive-level reporting on talent development, much like GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) provides reporting principles for

finance.
