Becoming a better leader (or a better person) is a process, not an event. Historically, much of executive development has focused on the importance of an event—whether it’s in the form of a training program, a motivational speech, or an intense executive retreat. My experience with the eight companies proves that real leadership development involves a process that takes time. It doesn’t happen in a day. Nor can you ‘get it’ in the form of a nitroglycerin tablet.
