In addition, when they did so, the ideas of LD were mostly traditional and individual-centered. Only a few of the informants connected LD to business needs. The comments mainly reflected ideas of heroic leadership and training.

In a few cases they might have got there through ambition as much as talent, although a judicious combination of the two is more likely, and they are not always people with whom you would want to spend an evening in a bar. But once in situ, leaders' approaches to their role differ too much to make generalizations possible. This all provides fertile ground for experts examining leadership development.Practical implicationsProvides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.Social implicationsProvides strategic insights and practical thinking that can have a broader social impact.Originality/valueThe briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to‐digest format.

Purpose of this paper Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings The trash can of history is full to the brim with products where producers did not know enough about the market before launching or updating them. For every well-researched product release there are a hundred poorly investigated ideas that never sold in anything like the quantities envisioned simply because the research had not been done in the first place. Whether the manufacturer thought they were a business seer able to predict the future, or simply asked the wrong people about their product in testing, vast sums of money have been lost on the fool’s errand of launching a product that was not right for its market. Practical implications Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. What is original/value of paper?

Purpose – This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

As a result of the characteristic embeddedness of routines in organizations, however, certain factors further act as moderators to contribute to a holistic explanation of how the ostensive and performative interaction influence foresight integration success. Practical implications – The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. Originality/value – The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
