Over 50% of senior executives feel that improving the overall quality of their organization's leadership is a critical challenge, and 46% believe they must do a better job of developing the next generation of leaders, increasing employee commitment, and retaining top talent.*

"We live and work in a world where organizational failure is endemic, and where frank, comprehensive dissections of those failures are still woefully infrequent; where success is too easily celebrated and failures are too quickly forgotten; where short-term earnings and publicity concerns block us from confronting, much less learning from our stumbles and our blunders."

– Jena McGregor , Fast Company Magazine, February 2005

The best companies, as measured by innovation, profitability, growth, reputation, and long-term track record, always seem to have the best leaders—not just at the top, but also at every management level throughout the enterprise. This is not an accident. These are companies with senior leaders who understand how to get the best from themselves and their people. They understand that their most valuable resource is not products, capital, or real estate, but people. They know that good people led by outstanding leaders is what separates great organizations from the rest.
