Have we made leadership development too easy?
Have you ever felt pressure to make leadership development shorter, lighter, faster or easier while still being expected to deliver meaningful and immediate change?
Perhaps you've questioned whether a design choice was being driven by learning needs or organisational realities.
Or found yourself designing leadership development around what the business will accept rather than what learners actually need.
If so, this dialogue is for you.
As L&D, OD and HR practitioners, we're often asked to deliver meaningful development while minimising disruption, reducing time commitments, demonstrating measurable outcomes and accommodating competing business priorities.
Most of us understand why those pressures exist.
But how do they influence the experiences we design?
When is convenience diluting learning?
Is it reasonable to expect leaders to invest significant time in their own development?
Have we become too focused on immediate behavioural change?
What role do reflection, connection and discomfort play in development?
What trade-offs are we making, consciously or unconsciously, when designing development experiences?
Through discussion and shared experiences, we'll explore the realities of modern leadership development, the pressures practitioners face, and the choices we make in response.
