Bridging the gap

A leadership gap refers to the disparity between the leadership qualities and skills required for an organisation’s success, and the actual capabilities of its leaders. These gaps can arise due to various factors, including the lack of proper training, limited opportunities for growth or inadequate recruitment strategies. When leadership gaps exist within an organisation, it can lead to inefficiencies, poor decision-making and a lack of innovation.
