"A Solution to Broken Leadership" Presented by CDR’s Nancy Parsons for HR.Com

 

"Leadership is broken. For more than a decade, studies have consistently shown that 50-75% of leaders are ineffective. Unfortunately, despite over $40 billion invested annually in

leadership development initiatives, things are not getting better,” according to Nancy Parsons, President of CDR Assessment Group, Inc.

Tulsa, Oklahoma - CDR Assessment Group, Inc., provides break-through psychological and performance assessments for leader and talent development for global clients.  CDR’s experts are known for being mavericks in the leadership development field because they provide bold and unvarnished messages and solutions to clients.  According to Parsons, “we can no longer mince words or tell leaders what they want or expect to hear – we need to be truthful with accurate data to rapidly turn leadership around.”

Parsons elaborates that “while nearly everyone can describe what an effective leader should do, few people can do it well.   Doing it -- performing well as a leader with consistency -- goes well beyond merely talking about it or cognitively understanding what the behaviors should be.“

Parsons will explain why these systemic leadership problems exist in this web presentation scheduled for Wednesday, August 22, 2012 at 1:30 ET as part of the two-day Integrated Talent Management Conference hosted by Toronto based, HR.com.    More importantly, according to Parsons, she plans to share a scientifically based methodology to turn today’s negative statistics into positive performance results.   Parsons offers a caution, explaining that, “The science and tools cannot be applied in a vacuum. To turn the ROI on leadership investments into organization-wide positive results, two executive traits are needed:   courage and compassion.”
