Motivation on the Run

Statistics from this study are of a concern to me. 43% of CEOs put leadership ’skills shortages’ in the top three problems compared to 34% in 2003.

What’s your take on this problem?

A “skills gap” for corporate leadership positions, as well as trained talent at all levels is the top concern of chief executive officers, according to an annual survey by the Ken Blanchard Companies of San Diego, a corporate training company.

Forty-three percent of those surveyed put skills shortages in the top three business challenges this year compared to 34 percent in 2003.

Attracting, retaining, and developing bench strength is emerging as a key issue facing companies, the survey found.
