A Psychology Today article says this:
- Our nation values leadership, but we do not teach it well.
- Colleges place a strong emphasis on leadership, as any high school senior who is filling out applications can tell you. We watch movies and read books about leaders. It borders on a national obsession yet employers see a gaping deficit.
- Thousands of the world’s most respected employers were asked two questions:
- 1) what are the skills critical to success in the modern workplace and
- 2) what skills do new hires lack.
- Of the roughly 100 skills surveyed, “leadership” ranked in the top 10. It also showed the second greatest skill deficit in recent college graduates (second only to “written communication”).
- Roughly 28% of graduates are described as “deficient” with only a small fraction deemed highly skilled.
- If we value and respect leadership so much and it correlates with success in the workplace, why then do we see such a gaping deficit?
