The world of HR likes to keep throwing curve balls.

I was going through some literature on Leadership and realized that HR can play a newer role in the field of leadership development. Traditionally we would have identified and used our skills to identify potential leaders, train these leaders, and retain talent so that we have a good pool of resources. We should also have a look at online coaching or a coach on demand initiative. This will help in a few ways. The potential leader will have the ability to get his/her decisions thought over before being thrown to the sharks, Also the leaders will be more adapted to the organisational culture which in turn will help them be more productive and also influence the employees better.

Coming back to training seems to be a preferred choice among a number of companies. No doubt it is beneficial and helps in acquiring the needed knowledge and attitude; however, training has to be tailored for the organisation. I do not believe that one training program can fits all organisations. But I have noticed that this is being done. Will work but Will not have the desired impact.
