Leadership training is one of the most common investments organizations make, but it is also one of the easiest to get wrong. Many companies track attendance, but few measure whether managers actually lead differently afterward.

In this episode of HR Superstars, Karina Young sits down with Nicole Roberts, Founder & President of People Solutions Group, to discuss how to design leadership development that managers actually use in their day-to-day work.

They explore how HR leaders can identify the right problems before launching training, measure leadership effectiveness in real time, and help managers apply new skills immediately. Nicole also shares practical ways to strengthen leadership development, even with limited resources.
