Leadership Development and the One-Size-Fits-All Dilemma

Author: Ron Zamir
Publisher: Forbes
Topics: Leadership Development, Learning Experience Design, Change Management

The model for leadership development is changing. It’s becoming both more democratic, designed to meet the needs of leaders at all levels, and also more strategic, aligned to the skills and capabilities most critical to organizational outcomes. Generic competency models are being replaced by skill-based approaches and in-context practice. Creating a leadership journey focused on learner experience can help bridge the divide between training and on-the-job performance. That’s why improving leadership development is an L&D priority for the majority of corporate executives over the next year.

You can learn more about AllenComm’s approach to leadership development by reviewing our LX Practice Essentials: Leadership Learning.

Personalized leadership training is not just best practice, but also a strategic imperative for organizations looking to cultivate a resilient leadership pipeline. Leadership engagement increased significantly when a large manufacturing company implemented training programs that offer unique learner journeys with experiences designed to develop prioritized capabilities for each leadership level. With the revamped approach—which is more aligned with the company’s business initiatives and customized to the needs of the learners—leaders can now get the training they need, when they need it.

At AllenComm, we design innovative learning experiences for leadership and other critical training programs. Learn more about our design and development services.

Leadership development programs are being reimagined, driven by learner experience design (LXD) and reflecting a shift in the needs and priorities of Fortune 1000 organizations.

LXD provides a blueprint for leadership training programs that are more engaging and relevant for the learner and ultimately more successful for the organization.

A fresh approach to leadership development programs, focused on real-world outcomes and the learner’s needs, is having a significant impact on leadership training. Taking a learner-centric approach, it shifts the focus away from content to creating engaging, personalized, and impactful learning journeys that are more relevant to the learner’s role in the company and more effective for the organization at large.

As an example, see AllenComm’s collaboration with Korn Ferry, which aligned their new leadership program with a capability-centered career architecture program.

Corporate leadership development today needs an overhaul as the traditional approach to leadership training has become obsolete. What is needed today are programs that are closely aligned to the leadership values and culture of the organization and the desired outcomes that leaders need to achieve in their roles within the organization—training that is more relevant, engaging, and ultimately more effective. Leveraging technology is key to leadership training in the era of hybrid and remote work, as it facilitates collaboration, provides flexibility of delivery, and allows for a variety of learning experiences.
