Measuring the success of these programs is essential to determine their impact and effectiveness, and to identify areas for improvement. The following are some key indicators of success for leadership and management development programs:

1. Improved employee engagement: A successful leadership and management development program should result in increased employee engagement, motivation, and commitment (Vrchota et al., 2020). This can be measured through employee surveys or engagement metrics, such as absenteeism and turnover rates.
2. Enhanced performance: Effective leadership and management development programs should lead to improved organizational performance, such as increased productivity, improved customer satisfaction, and higher levels of innovation.
3. Improved leadership skills: A successful leadership and management development program should result in an improvement in leadership skills, such as effective communication, problem-solving, and decision-making (Purwanto, 2020). This can be measured through 360-degree feedback assessments, performance appraisals, or self-assessments.
4. Increased employee development: A successful leadership and management development program should result in increased employee development and career progression. This can be measured through employee promotions, job satisfaction surveys, or the uptake of further training and development opportunities.
5. Return on investment: Ultimately, a successful leadership and management development program should deliver a positive return on investment (ROI) for the organization. This can be measured through the impact on business performance, employee engagement and development, and the cost of the program compared to the benefits it delivers.

The success of leadership and management development programs can be measured through a combination of objective and subjective indicators, including improved employee engagement and performance, enhanced leadership skills, increased employee development, and a positive return on investment. By monitoring these indicators, organizations can gain a better understanding of the impact of their leadership and management development programs and make informed decisions about how to enhance their effectiveness in the future.
