Bridging the Leadership Gap: Are We Any Closer? Do you know where your future leaders are? Despite more than a decade’s worth of widely disseminated leadership -gap research from CCL and others, a wide and growing gap remains between the future leadership needs of organizations around the world and their current leadership capabilities. More than a decade ago, we started to document the gap between the readiness of future organizational leaders and their current leadership skills. From 2006 to 2008, we surveyed 2,200 leaders from 15 organizations in 3 countries and found that crucial leadership skills necessary to meet future organizational demands were missing. Surveys of 2,339 managers from 24 organizations across 3 countries from 2009 to 2015 found that the leadership gap persisted, and suggested that little progress was being made in addressing it. Other academics and leadership development organizations have documented similar shortcomings. What’s going on? www.ccl.org
