The Leading Edge
Only 11% of executives believe their leadership community is ready for the challenges ahead. Yet, organisations that invest in leadership development see a 29% increase in team performance and a 114% boost in engagement metrics. The question isn’t whether leadership development works, it’s whether you’re doing enough of it, and doing it differently.
“Competitive Edge is a fantastic Learning and Development organisation. They approach training in a unique way, which supports our learners, challenges them to improve and, helps them develop into strong individuals who deliver a meaningful change in business performance”.
