Does The Leadership Information You Get Have ANY Value At All?

The Industrial Complex In Leadership Development

Most of what you Consume about Leadership has NO Value.

I’m not saying this to attack the many wonderful people in the Industry.

It’s more a fact about the Systems around “Leadership Development” that we currently have.

See, Leadership Development is part of the Industrial Complex.

What is that?

From Wikipedia:

“The industrial complex is a socioeconomic concept wherein businesses become entwined in social or political systems or institutions, creating or bolstering a profit economy from these systems. Such a complex is said to pursue its own financial interests regardless of, and often at the expense of, the best interests of society and individuals. Businesses within an industrial complex may have been created to advance a social or political goal, but mostly profit when the goal is not reached. The industrial complex may profit financially from maintaining socially detrimental or inefficient systems.”

I know that is a huge block of text, so let me Simplify it for you…

The Leadership Development Industry has been estimated to be worth $350 Billion.
