Organizations invest significant time and money in leadership development. Workshops generate enthusiasm, participants leave with new ideas, and feedback is overwhelmingly positive. But a few weeks later, how much has actually changed?

In this short solo episode of The Mike Method, Mike Desjardins explores why leadership training doesn't always translate into lasting behavioural change and what organizations can do to make development more effective.

Mike explains why knowing something and consistently applying it are two very different things. Real leadership development requires opportunities to practise, reflect, receive feedback, and build new habits over time. And just as importantly, the systems and expectations surrounding leaders need to support those new behaviours.

From coaching and peer learning to manager involvement and real-world application, Mike shares why what happens between development sessions may matter more than the sessions themselves.

The episode challenges organizations to reconsider how they measure successful leadership development. Rather than focusing solely on what leaders will learn, the more valuable question is what they'll actually be doing differently six months from now.

Because the goal isn't more content. It's lasting behaviour change.
