Leadership development barely works in a seminar: only about 10% of it is formal learning. Why CEOs develop fastest among peers facing the same decisions.
How strategies move from PowerPoint into the day-to-day. How 47 priorities become three. How to phrase a statement every leader can explain in 60 seconds.
