What's Missing from Leadership Development Programmes?
There is one area that has not been covered in leadership development programmes very well. It’s what Otto Scharmer calls the Blind Spot of Leadership, and he’s referring to what goes on inside the leader.

3.1.4 Overall resource availability: Training priorities, resources and reorientation
The extent of public sector training for the poor is also strongly influenced by resource availability and the overall incidence of poverty.

2.2.1 Training provision, outputs and impacts: Contributory factors
