The Mindtools L&D Podcast 360 — Evidence-based leadership development
What do we mean by ‘evidence-based leadership development’? Development of evidence-based leaders? Or an evidence-based approach to leadership development? Well, both.
In this week’s episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross G and Nahdia are joined by Helen Bailey, Head of Learning and Development at Strategi Solutions, to discuss:
· what ‘evidence-based’ leadership development looks like
· what we mean by ‘evidence’
· how to measure leadership.
During the discussion, Helen referenced the Centre for Evidence Based Management.
