Leadership remains a critical driver of organizational success, but how can we truly maximize its impact? In this latest newsletter article, co-authored with my colleague Harrison James, we delve into compelling evidence from the Organization Guidance System (OGS) that sheds new light on leadership development. This leadership focus complements the previous OGS human capability posts on talent and organization. Drawing from data across 548 companies, we examine six key leadership initiatives and their effects on stakeholder outcomes. The results may surprise you - while leadership matters greatly, our research shows that organizational capabilities have an even stronger influence on stakeholder value. We also provide a framework for prioritizing leadership investments to drive the results that matter most for your organization. Whether you're a seasoned HR professional or a business leader looking to enhance your leadership strategy, this article offers valuable insights to guide your approach. I invite you to read the full article and share your thoughts. How do these findings align with your experiences? What leadership initiatives have you found most impactful in your organization? Let's start a conversation about developing better leaders and leadership in today's dynamic business landscape.

In this week's newsletter, my colleague Harrison James and I continue our exploration of the Organization Guidance System (OGS) with our third installment in this series. Today, we're focusing on organization capabilities - a critical pathway in creating stakeholder value. Our research, drawing from data collected from 399 firms over four years, reveals fascinating insights about how investments in 12 key organizational capabilities impact five different stakeholder outcomes. For instance, did you know that organizational capabilities explain more variance in stakeholder outcomes than talent initiatives? We dive into which capabilities have the broadest impact, how they align with specific stakeholder needs, and even provide a formula for prioritizing capability investments. Whether you're a business leader or HR professional, these findings could reshape how you think about organizational effectiveness. I invite you to read on and consider: How do these findings resonate with your experience? What capabilities do you see as most crucial in your organization? Let's start a conversation about building organizations that truly deliver value in today's complex business environment.
