Insights into

effective leadership progression

Moving into a new leadership level changes what effective leadership looks like. This executive summary shares findings from Talogy's international research, drawing on the perspectives of employees, leaders, organisations and scientific literature to show the challenges and behaviours that matter at the first-level, mid-level and senior transitions.

Key findings:

• Only 36% of leaders surveyed received formal leadership training or development when they moved to their current level
• 80% of leaders had to change their behaviour to a moderate, large or very large extent after moving up
• 74% of leaders who experienced development interventions rated them as extremely or very useful

Inside the executive summary:

• How leaders affect employees at each level, including how they make people feel
• The leadership behaviours and attributes that matter most at each level
• The biggest challenges at each transition, and how prepared leaders feel
• How organisations can prepare leaders to transition successfully

It is written for HR, talent management and L&D professionals who build leadership pipelines and support leaders as they progress.
