The Brandon Hall Group has just released its’ State of Leadership Development survey results for 2015. The report found that an astonishing “71% of research respondents said their leaders are not ready to lead their organizations into the future.”

Your reaction to this number may be a sigh of relief if your organization is in the same boat as the 71%. At least you’re not alone, right?

Wrong. These numbers should be a call to action to get a leg up on your competition instead of a reason to take your foot off the gas.
