Boosting Leadership Skills: A Key to Enhancing Productivity

The Problem: Lack of Leadership and Management Capability Creating Productivity Issues

The Productivity Commission’s recent 5-year Productivity Enquiry report, “Advancing Prosperity”, raised some serious concerns about the leadership, management and technology skills of Australian executives.

The report highlighted that Australian Managers lag the pack through a systemic and sustained underinvestment in management capability, with Australia’s management capability score signficantly behind that of other OECD countries and labour productivity growth at 60 year lows (see charts below).  The Commission warned that this lack of management capability can have a negative impact on the nation’s innovation and productivity, and it’s a problem that businesses need to address.
