Investing in leadership development can be a game changer. Deloitte's “high leadership maturity” organizations are five times more likely to be highly effective at anticipating and responding to change. According to research by the Center for Creative Leadership, 86% of organizations with strategic leadership development programs were able to respond quickly to unpredictable business environments, compared to 52% of organizations with “less mature” programs.
