Explores, through a series of case study examples, how practitioners can improve the leadership capacity of their organisation.

The CIPD report, Leadership – easier said than done, explores the barriers to leadership and good people management. To help practitioners take a step from training individual leaders to improving the leadership capacity of the organisation as a whole, our series of case studies illustrate the specific approaches some organisations have taken to understand what leadership their organisation needs and align the organisation context to  support leadership.
