Full textThe terms leadership and leader development are often used synonymously. However, there are different outcomes and needs associated with each type of development. Even with these differences, both types of developments may be needed to help individuals master leadership skills effectively. This study explored the critically formative processes and influences contributing to a leader’s leadership formation and development. A framework of adult cognitive development, identity development, and spiritual development offered areas where an individual may need development for leadership, while a framework of social cognitive theory, andragogy, and transformational learning offered insights into the process of development and transformation. By using phenomenography as the research method, this study aimed to find the variation of the phenomenon and describe leadership development as the participants experienced it. This information may help organizations and individuals who are trying to develop future leaders understand critically formative processes and influences contributing to a leader’s leadership formation and development.
The research found four categories related to the participants’ leadership development experiences within Leadership Tuscarawas and one category based on past experiences outside of the program. These categories were: (a) learning from others, (b) becoming aware, (c) building relationships, (d) emotions and feelings, and (e) leadership development experiences. Each category gave insights into what Leadership Tuscarawas alumni experienced within a leadership development program.

Full textThere is an absence of research examining the relationship between the experiences that occurred while holding formal student leadership positions and leadership identity development. This study will investigate if leadership can be learned through the lenses of the leadership experience of men who hold the formal student leadership position of chapter president within their local chapters of their national social fraternal organization. The design of the study is quantitative in nature and will utilize an electronic survey to examine the impact of a college student’s leadership identity development from holding a position of leadership within a student organization.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Facilitation is considered one of the core leadership skills needed for young managers today. In order to master the principles of facilitation, it is necessary for potential facilitators to have a thorough understanding of the four main elements of facilitation namely, The Task at hand, the personal characteristics, skills and techniques required of facilitators, the group dynamics that come into play in the facilitation process and the facilitation process itself. In the continuously changing environment of business, it is important that managers lead their organisations and teams through change with a facilitation management style. In order to cope with change, it is necessary to understand what change is and how it will affect the organisation and the people working for the organisation. This study intends to give young, talented managers the skills to be effective facilitators in their organisations. It is intended to give talented managers a working document to help them manage in a constantly changing environment where much is expected of them regarding management styles and social interaction.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Fasilitering word beskou as een van die kern leierskapsvaardighede wat van vandag se jong bestuurders verwag word. Ten einde die beginsels van fasilitering baas te raak, is dit belangrik dat voornemende fasiliteerders 'n deeglike begrip moet hê van die vier basiese beginsels van fasilitering naamlik, Die Taak wat afgehandel moet word, die eienskappe waaroor fasiliteerders moet beskik, die groepsdinamika betrokke in fasilitering en die proses van fasilitering self. In die voortdurend veranderende besigheidsomgewing is dit belangrik dat bestuurders hul organisasies en spanne lei aan die hand van 'n fasiliterende bestuurstyl. Ten einde verandering te kan hanteer, is dit nodig om te verstaan wat verandering behels en hoe dit die organisasie en die mense wat vir die organisasie werk beïnvloed. Dit is die doelwit van hierdie studie om jong, talentvolle fasiliteerders die vaardigheid te gee om effektiewe fasiliteerders in hul organisasies te wees. Dit is die bedoeling om talentvolle bestuurders 'n werksdokument te gee om hulle te help om te bestuur in 'n konstante veranderende omgewing waar baie van hulle verwag word rakende bestuurstyle en die interaksie met mense.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this research assignment was to determine the contribution coaching has made, as part of a blended leadership development programme, towards the development of individual leaders and leadership development at Transnet Freight Rail. This was aimed at identifying ways in which the coaching component may be improved. The research was undertaken with a group of high-potential leaders, at an operating division of the parastatal company Transnet, in South Africa. A qualitative research methodology was used and, within that framework, a phenomenological case study design. The research data was gathered, using semi-structured interviews, from 13 participants who received external coaching as part of the blended programme. The findings confirm that coaching, combined with blended leadership development activities, has a synergistic and positive impact on the individual and the organisation, enhancing both the human and social capital at Transnet Freight Rail. The participants expressed a multitude of benefits from receiving coaching: improvements in various aspects of their personal, social and cognitive competence, as well as assisting in their learning, retention and application of the other modules of the blended programme. The coaching intervention has assisted participants in enhancing and applying their own coaching skills within the organisation. This was accomplished by their experience of having been coached, by using the example from the sessions and through the coaching course attended as part of the blended programme. The findings in this research assignment suggest that coaching is making a positive contribution to leadership development at TFR by strengthening the leadership capacity, developing a coaching culture, improving strategic thinking when problem-solving, improving decision-making, improving productivity, increasing employee morale, and improving the individual's performance thereby benefiting the organisation. Coaching has also resulted in greater teamwork, broader understanding of the business, retention of talented employees and has demonstrated to employees that the organisation is committed to developing its staff and helping them to improve their skills.
Wright, David W. "Student Leadership Development| How Do Liberal Arts Colleges Enhance Socially Responsible Leadership?" Thesis, The George Washington University, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3557574.
Full textStudent leadership development is a key initiative at many colleges and universities in the United States today. Many of the liberal arts institutions in America have leadership development of their student population as one of the fundamental elements of their educational objectives (Astin, 1997; Durden, 2001; Rothblatt, 2003). This study utilized a qualitative, multiple-case study design to explore how two liberal arts institutions developed socially responsible leaders within their student population. An expert-driven, purposeful sampling strategy was utilized for this study. Using an interview and focus group protocol that was framed by the Social Change Model of Leadership (SCM), the researcher also used a documentation review to collect data. The findings were reported as two individual case studies, followed by a cross-case analysis looking for areas of convergence and divergence between the institutions. The SCM was an effective theoretical framework to determine how these liberal arts institutions develop socially responsible leaders. Each of the eight constructs from the SCM was addressed by the study's research question and subquestions. The findings from the study were consistent with the student learning and development analogous with the descriptions of the constructs from the theoretical framework. However, there were several influences on student leadership development that were underrepresented in the findings. Thus, the recommendations offered, along with other findings of the study, propose tactics for more thorough development of socially responsible leaders at liberal arts institutions.

Full textCada vez más profesionales se inscriben en programas de formación ejecutiva, especialmente en aquellos orientados al desarrollo directivo, con el objetivo de embarcar en una transición personal o profesional. En consecuencia, cuando se pide a los participantes de estos programas establecer objetivos de desarrollo y definir los correspondientes planes de acción, los participantes incluyen no solo el desarrollo de competencias de liderazgo, sino que frecuentemente también incluyen aspiraciones personales y objetivos de carrera a más largo plazo. El propósito de esta investigación es descubrir cómo el proceso de fijación de objetivos en programas de desarrollo directivo puede ser más eficaz y ayudar a los participantes a avanzar hacia los objetivos establecidos. Para contestar a esta pregunta de investigación, primero desarrollamos una escala que mide el progreso hacia los objetivos. Esta medida fue después utilizada en un estudio exploratorio como variable de criterio para desarrollar un código que evalúa la calidad de los objetivos y planes de acción. Los resultados muestran que la fijación de objetivos es más eficaz cuando (1) parte de una visión específica, (2) articula una narrativa de objetivos en forma de hoja de ruta, (3) incluye intenciones de buscar información y (4) intenciones de actuar. Finalmente, estos resultados son validados mediante una intervención en el programa MBA ejecutivo de ESADE. Más allá de la contribución teórica a la literatura sobre la fijación de objetivos, esta investigación tiene implicaciones prácticas inmediatas ya que los programas de desarrollo directivo la pueden utilizar como guía para aumentar la eficacia del proceso de fijación de objetivos, y consecuentemente para ayudar a sus participantes a avanzar en la consecución de sus aspiraciones profesionales y personales.
Many professionals increasingly join executive education programs, especially those that focus on leadership development, to embark on a personal or professional transition. Consequently, when participants are asked to set development goals and an action plan, these often comprise not only the improvement of leadership competencies but also longer-term personal aspirations and career goals. Not all participants, however, attain the goals to the same degree. The purpose of this research was to discover how the goal-setting process in leadership development programs can be more effective in helping participants engage in goal pursuit. To answer this research question, we first developed a scale that measures goal progress. This scale was then used in an exploratory study as the criterion variable for developing a code that assesses goal-setting quality. Results showed that goal-setting is most effective when (1) it is leveraged on a specific vision, (2) it articulates a meaningful goal narrative, (3) it includes intentions to seek information and (4) intentions to act. Finally, these results were validated by means of an intervention in the executive MBA program of ESADE. Besides the theoretical contribution to the literature of goal setting and intentional change, this research has immediate implications for practice as it guides leadership development programs in making their goal-setting process more effective, and in ultimately helping their participants to engage in the pursuit of their career and life aspirations.
