2024 Global Leadership Development Study

The 2024 Global Leadership Development Study presents findings from Harvard Business Publishing Corporate Learning, focusing on the evolving landscape of leadership development. The study aims to address how leadership roles are expanding and the need for new competencies in response to organizational transformation. Through a survey of over 1,100 leadership and development professionals, the report identifies key objectives for leadership training, including widening skill sets, challenging existing paradigms, managing polarities and paradoxes, and potentializing people. The findings indicate that traditional training methods are insufficient, as leaders now require a broader range of skills, including emotional and digital intelligence. The report emphasizes the importance of adapting leadership styles to meet complex challenges and the necessity of fostering innovation and cultural transformation within organizations. It also highlights the critical need for leaders to embrace both outcomes and efforts to create a balanced approach to management, ultimately supporting a more effective leadership development framework.
