Would you hire an engineer, accountant, chemist, architect, doctor, psychiatrist, or pilot who hadn’t had extensive training in their profession? Probably not. Why then do you hire or fail to coach or train untrained professional leaders?
While 83% of organizations believe it’s important to develop leaders at every level of the company, only 5% of businesses have implemented leadership development at all levels. (Zippia.com. June, 2023)
The five biggest mistakes leaders make
- Tolerating Mediocrity
- Not delegating enough or ineffectively.
- Not giving enough recognition (69% of employees say they would work harder if they felt their efforts were better recognized.)
- Competing with their own people without realizing it.
- Not understanding differences in people.
