Hello Dr. Schmitz & Class, In my opinion, leadership development programs approach is one of the most effective ways to develop future leaders. Leadership programs are designed to train individuals within an organization to take ownership of their jobs and the tasks required of them (McCauley et al., 2021). Not only does LDP’s train people to be greater employees, but greater leaders as well. The role as a leader may be well-defined and include leadership authority and power, such as a manager or executive officer, or may be loosely defined, such as a team leader who has less authority but is still responsible for daily tasks. Leaders should want the people who were carefully selected and recruited to grow in their careers and progress through their organization. Effective leadership development programs (LDPs) provide the opportunity and guidance so employees, who are in leadership positions can develop the skills necessary to further their careers, lead others to success, and contribute exceptional work to the organization (McCauley, 2021). In my experience leadership development programs can assist people build skills like communication, decision-making, and conflict management. These initiatives are most effective when the focus is on performance outcomes that support a key business priority, like revenue increase. Reference McCauley, C. D., & Palus, C. J. (2021).
