Why Leadership Development Is Broken—and 7 Things to Do About It.

Dr. Lepora

Leadership development is broken.
Not cracked. Not outdated. Broken.

Organizations are pouring millions into leadership programs—coaching, assessments, simulations, e-learning—yet their best talent stalls at manager or collapses under pressure at director. The problem isn’t the talent. It’s the system.

We’re developing leaders for a world that no longer exists. And that’s why it’s time for bold shifts.

From investing in middle managers, to tying development to your future crises (not last year’s goals), to making self-awareness the foundation of execution—these aren’t “nice-to-haves.” They are survival strategies for organizations that want to thrive.

Because strategy doesn’t fail on paper. It fails in the room—when leaders disappear behind performance speak instead of rising with clarity.

👉 Which of these 7 shifts do you think would make the biggest impact in your organization right now?
