Description

Jay Conger, Rui Gomes, and Catarina Morais argue in a 2024 article that leader training should work like preventive medicine. Leaders who derail wreck budgets, morale, and health, and the fall usually lands late, at senior levels. By then the habits that doom them are old.

The authors ask whether training early in a career, and at each jump in rank, could head off the fall. Coaching is now the go-to fix, often applied as the slide starts. They urge a wider kit of growth tools used ahead of trouble. The piece reframes development as a vaccine against failure, not a cure.
