It appears that no matter how well they perform or how hard they try to get their managers' attention, they are still overlooked. And those who do have their attention and make it through to leadership roles quickly find out that the challenges do not end with a title change; they start. Previous successes and having a leadership title count for very little if not accompanied by almost immediate success. In fact, statistics show that most fail to make the transition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo how do emerging and new leaders succeed when the typical twin pillars of leadership development, experience and training fail them? The author addresses the issue through what he considers the more appropriate question - 'how do leaders become effective leaders?' \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Wobbly Stool\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e offers a unique approach to leadership development by introducing a third pillar: personal growth through values.
