Seeing with 20/20 vision is a good thing. As we welcome 2020, and a new decade, it’s also a good idea for leadership development directors to have a vision for the future of their department. We’re in the midst of a Fourth Industrial Revolution, yet over the last decade or more, most of leadership development has remained stagnant. What is trained, how it is trained, and who is trained is much the same today as it was 10 or even 20 years ago.
To be relevant for the next decade, directors of leadership development have to embrace transformations in every area of training and executive education. Once only talking points, these five areas hold significant promise as they become a reality in 2020.
TREND 1: A Focus on Applying and Sustaining Behaviors
TREND 2: Mobile Learning for Millennial Managers
TREND 3: Group Coaching & Democratization of Leadership Development
TREND 4: Alignment to the Engagement Survey
TREND 5: AI Becomes Invisible
This list appeared prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we will see whether the recommended transformations are adopted – once staffing levels return to pre-pandemic levels and restructurings at the managerial level are reconciled with work-from-home realities. -MW-
