2024 October - 117 articles

Cover Story: Global investment in leadership development is colossal, made dubious by questionable evidence and conflicting results, including outstanding outcomes, but also waste and potential harm. In response, this article combines four systematic literature reviews to establish a robust theoretical foundation and a gold-standard evidence base that has informed the creation of the only framework of its kind that maximizes the impact and return on investment (ROI) of leadership development. The results include the 65-Strategy Optimizing System (framework) and novel definitions; principles of leadership development; progressive levels of mastery; an outcome-based design; levels of program outcomes; categories of development activities; a program evaluation and talent optimization framework; and the concept of A Leadership Organization (ALO).
