2. An experience-based approach to leadership development knits together on-the-job experience, life experience, and specific skill development, rather than a smorgasbord of unrelated classes.
3. This experience-based method can be adapted to people at all career stages and an organization's changing needs in complex environments.

Many organizations realize the importance of effective leadership to enable an organization to achieve its vision, mission and strategic objectives and to make the organization successful. These organizations place high priority on the training and development of their leaders at various levels and embark on leadership development programs.
Unfortunately, many organizations go for the so-called "quick wins" by conducting a 2-5 days leadership development program, believing this will solve their leadership issues and booster business performance. These organizations have got to be realistic as it is just impossible to develop and turn people into instant effective leaders in 2-5 days.
To develop effective leaders, a Structured Leadership Development Program is needed with a proper process and blueprint for implementation, the duration of which could be at least 6 months.
