But when I begin to question and dig a little, I find that the “leadership gap” is being caused by 2 primary drivers:
1. Not empowering employees to make decisions so that they can learn to take control of situations.
2. Stupid HR policies and management practices that turn talent off from joining or staying with firms.
In a landscape where we are definitely fighting for talent, we need to make ourselves more attractive to talent. By both giving them the opportunity to grow in the short and long term…while also not putting in place strategies that will act as arguments against being a part of an organization.
