Developing Leaders

This morning I spend my time in a Hewitt seminar on developing leaders. Two companies present their case. Hearing success stories add a lot more faith at least for me. There were lot of data and studies to support the leadership development program. At lunch during I had an interesting lunch partner whose job is Human Capital Development with a local company. He is of the opinion after collecting data from his own company successful leaders and interviewing them is let nature takes its course. When asked, the successful leaders all have the same answer. They enjoys developing others. It is not something they do because they have to! The key is it is part of the leader's manifestation, his DNA so to speak.

Two books were recommended. One is Double Digit Growth and the other, Talent Pipeline.
