Massive amounts of time and money are wasted on poorly designed and implemented leadership development initiatives. I highly recommend this new book by Dr. Maria Loumpourdi to help you identify what practices and processes are likely to pay off in terms of leadership development and which ones are more likely to just rip you off.

Dr. Maria Loumpourdi has written a timely and useful book on leadership development. Unfortunately, the field of leadership development is somewhat of a "wild west," where snake oil remedies are often peddled. Maria has relied on evidence and her unique insights as a leader herself to provide actionable and practice-oriented knowledge. This book will be useful to leaders as well as practitioners in charge of leadership and organizational development.

Really well researched and written book on an important topic that anyone with an interest in ensuring organisations have the best possible leadership development should familiarise themselves with.

Business has changed a lot over the last 10+ years and so has leadership, or more importantly what people want from their leaders, which is more inclusion, communication, transparency, and development. Leadership is all about enabling and empowering people to succeed and is best developed from within. With Leaders Made from Within, Maria gives readers a clear and actionable process to develop leadership capabilities at every level. Definitely worth a read.
