Note sull'episodio
Your leadership development budget may not be the problem. The diagnosis just might be.
If we do not know what is broken, you can spend a whole lot of time and money trying to fix the wrong thing. In this 10-minute conversation, executive coach Jealeania "Lena" Morris unpacks why organizations keep asking for "more training" without diagnosing the real leadership capability gap — and why training becomes the answer before anyone diagnosed the problem.
Good people, this is not theory. This is not fluff. This is how you stop funding programs out of habit and start building capable leaders.
