Harvard Business Review.https://nrs.harvard.edu/URN-3:HUL.INSTREPOS:37374468Leadership development is a massive industry.

Through a series of experiments, surveys, and analyses of data from more than a thousand participants in six different leadership development programs around the world, the authors determined that these initiatives can substantially boost personal growth and wellbeing — but only when implemented correctly.
