Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I read the 2nd edition of the Handbook of Leadership Development and it was the best book that I ever read in Leadership Development. I have been wondering if there will be a better book to be published on LD and CCL did it again. This book is packed with ideas and CCL has had no reservation on keeping this knowledge to them only. You will get that Aha almost every page you read. Chapters 1 on Leader Development Systems, 2 on Learning from Experience alone are worth buying the book. There is plenty of solid ideas for leader development in the remaining chapters such as Feedback Intensive Programs, Leadership Coaching, Leader Development and Social Identity. If you are involved with Leader Development, a line manager with the responsibility of developing your own staff, an HR Development guy or even if you are a person that develops and delivers behavioural training programs this book will have plenty of practical ideas for you.
