Most companies say they want to “develop leaders,” but the real opportunity is one they often overlook: the leaders already inside the organization.

In this conversation with Daneal Charney, we explore why forward-looking organizations are rethinking leadership development altogether—shifting away from top-down programs and toward peer-led learning, where employees teach, mentor, and grow one another.

We break down:

Why traditional leadership pipelines fail to recognize high-potential internal talent

How peer-driven learning surfaces hidden leaders far faster

The ROI advantages of harnessing internal expertise vs. external hires

What the next generation of employees expects from growth and development

How modern workplaces can scale leadership without adding hierarchy

If your organization is preparing for the future of work, this episode shows why peer-led learning is not a trend—it’s a competitive advantage.
