Nearly Half of Managers Say Their Company Doesn't Develop Future LeadersNearly Half of Managers Say Their Company Doesn't Develop Future Leaders

About 45% of managers say their company isn’t doing enough to cultivate future leaders, with leadership training named as the most neglected initiative for leadership development, according to a new report from TalentLMS.

While 53% of managers said their leaders lead by example, 36% said they’ve witnessed ineffective leadership frequently or consistently. Only 8% said their company’s leadership development initiatives are fully effective.

“The findings of the TalentLMS survey are loud and clear: Leaders need development tools, training and resources that equip them to navigate uncertainty and mentor the next generation,” the report authors wrote. “They need support in refining their adaptability, emotional intelligence and self-awareness. These qualities are make-or-break in today’s leaders.”

In the survey of 600 managers across U.S. industries, gaps emerged in seven areas: leadership training programs, internal talent development, transparent promotions, leadership skill gaps, mentorship from experienced leaders, executive involvement in leadership development and access to external resources and guidance.
