You make a good point about good leadership versus good looking leadership. The best leader development will always be experience itself in my book. Also, BG Zinn.

Great article. I will have to find the time to chat about your definitions.

I think the biggest challenge in leader development is to encourage self-development. Excellent leaders are ones that never stop learning. I was lucky enough to create the "coffee and Clausewitz"

method of encouraging peer-learning and self-development just by being around a remarkable group of Soldiers. Ultimately, I believe the mark of a truly successful development program is it can "pack the house" when being entirely voluntary. https://thearmyleader.co.uk/coffee-and-clausewitz/
