The document summarizes research on the 70-20-10 model of leadership development, which proposes that 70% of learning comes from job experiences, 20% comes from interactions with others, and 10% comes from formal training. It discusses studies applying this model across different countries and industries. The model has evolved over time with varying percentages found across contexts. Experiences like overseas assignments, crises, and mistakes provide important lessons. While the 70-20-10 model simplifies a complex topic, it emphasizes the role of experiences and relationships in addition to formal education in leadership development.
