2 CHALLENGING DYNAMICS

3 Many of the world s leading corporations and government agencies look to Harvard Business Publishing to help meet their most demanding leadership challenges. Organizations turn to us knowing that with our proven, innovative solutions they ll get results. Ray Carvey, Executive Vice President, Corporate Learning, Harvard Business Publishing THE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT IMPERATIVE NON-STOP CHALLENGES, NON-STOP CHANGE Today s organizations face a dramatically transformed economic and business landscape. Rapid advances in information technology combined with intense global competition require a new form of leadership. WHAT S NEEDED FOR SUCCESS In the face of these challenges, leadership development has never been more critical. What worked in prior years will not necessarily work in today s demanding environment. More is expected, and managers must become leaders capable of thinking in new ways, acting decisively, and engaging employees on a global scale. The organizations that will succeed are those with leaders at all levels who can rapidly and effectively respond to non-stop challenges, non-stop change. DEVELOPING YOUR LEADERS STARTS HERE For more than 20 years, Harvard Business Publishing Corporate Learning has provided leadership development solutions that have helped create such leaders. Our offerings enable global enterprises and governments to achieve success by creating and strengthening leaders at all levels in their organizations. Our solutions leverage the business insight and thought leadership of Harvard Business School faculty, Harvard Business Review authors, and other management experts. And they re delivered using the latest technology and learning practices to enable anytime, anywhere access to content that s in the context of real work. The result: flexible solutions that address our clients most pressing strategic challenges and drive meaningful business results. Leadership Development That Works Traditional approaches to leader development aren t delivering on their promise. They re too detached from business operations and strategy, and focus on knowledge and skills to the neglect of values and mindsets. The conventional approach to leader development offers a variety of programs and developmental events, but they re often delivered in isolation. Individual managers may improve their skills, but the impact on business results is often minimal. To develop the leadership capabilities across their organizations that will drive business results, learning leaders and their partners in the C-suite must take a more holistic view of how they develop leaders and how learning opportunities (both formal and informal) integrate with the organization s strategic imperatives.
