Leadership Development

Developing bench strength is always important for an organization’s long-term success. In the current environment, bench strength and leadership development are becoming increasingly important as:

  • Jobs become so complex and applied that leaders can’t possibly know how to do all the tasks of the people reporting to them
  • The current generation of ‘baby boomers’ approaches retirement age
  • The upcoming generation expects leaders to involve them in running the organization
  • Leaders are increasingly promoted because of technical expertise, but haven’t been schooled in leadership skills

Creating a program for your organization
In our many years of experience, we have found that Leadership is the lever with the most impact. The Mandana Group has designed over 50 leadership development programs and facilitated sessions through out the world.

35% of New Leaders Failed in their Jobs in 2004

About 35% of new managers and executives failed in their jobs within the first 18 months of starting new positions during 2004.

"Failing" was defined as performing significantly below expectations, being terminated for performance, or voluntarily resigning from the new job, says Right Management Consultants, which surveyed human resource managers.

The top reason for failure – inability to build strong relationships and teams with subordinates and peers.
