When leaders teach employees, it works. When the teaching practice is formalized, it's even more effective. Yet only 17 percent of organizations have formal leaders-as-teachers programs, and 39 percent report having informal leaders-as-teachers programs. Those were among the findings of the Association for Talent Development (ATD) and Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp) study, Leaders as Teachers: Engaging Employees in High-Performance Learning. The respondents to the study, sponsored by The Training Associates, came from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
