The 3 Reasons why Leadership Development Programs Fail

  1. Lack of Fit with Specific Context
  2. Poor real-life Applicability
  3. Insufficient guiding Measures
missing the target

Organisations around the globe invest heavily in Leadership Development Programs; yet the general level of satisfaction is low in terms of visible and lasting impact.

Recent studies highlight three main causes for the lack of effectiveness in the majority of classical Leadership Development Programs:

  1. Lack of fit with the specific Context (“one size fits all” approach)
    See the Number 1 Grooa Solution on this page
  2. Insufficient Real-Life Applicability (theoretical class learning is wasted when people are confronted with the reality at work):

  3. Lack of appropriate guiding measures (Lack of pre- and post- assessments and inadequate ROI evaluations)
