The Leadership Enigma

With billions spent on leadership development annually, does it make a difference? Do we really understand how adults learn? Do we still rely on experts downloading their wisdom out of context in fancy hotels in the hope that some kind of value or impact will be realised back in the organisation?I chat to Nick Holley, Director of CRF Learning, global faculty for multiple business schools and voted #5 most influential thinker in HR.
