Leadership Development - A Strategic Need for
Businesses
The 5 stages of leadership development for
business, inspired by the work of Aamer Naeem,
allow us to understand that a company or an
entity is a living organism that is born,
develops, knows and overcomes growth crises. The
transition from one phase to another corresponds
to the resolution of the crisis linked to the
excesses of the previous phase. Each stage of
this evolution corresponds to a suitable mode of
leadership.
