When leadership development fails, performance gaps increase. This impacts workplace culture, delivery of organisational objectives and the bottom line. Developing leadership capability in others takes more than understanding theory and authorising the training budget - bringing out the best in people can be challenging and often leaders simply don't know what to do.

In the new book, Developing Direct Reports, Corrinne Armour, Anneli Blundell and Belinda Cohen draw upon their extensive experience in leadership development and share a proven approach for having meaningful development conversations that deliver sustainable performance improvement, at both an individual and organisational level.

Written for leaders who lead leaders, the book will change the way leaders think about and drive performance development and the critical conversations needed to support behaviour change. Readers learn how to:

- Recognise the 12 common leadership derailers and develop a strategy specifically for them
- Understand the drivers behind their own behaviours and of those they lead
- Develop the essential mindset needed to successfully develop their leaders
- Implement a proven framework for coaching behaviour change that sticks
- Have meaningful performance development conversations
- Model a new approach to performance development that delivers profitability and growth

Packed with industry insights, examples and supported by a practical framework, Developing Direct Reports provides the foundation needed to create great leaders, and is a must-read for all managers at all levels.
