In this first part of the resource corner you will find articles, papers and tools on the concepts and theories behind 'Leadership in Development'. Since the body of resources on leadership (development) in developing countries is still relatively small, the section also covers materials that were developed for a Western (business) context, but that can be applied and adapted to other contexts.
To guide you through the range of resources available, the Short Paper - Introducing Leadership in Development will highlight some key materials, which you will find in the 'quality-controlled' section of the resource corner. The paper also discusses:
- What is Leadership?
- Why is Leadership important?
- Why Leadership in Development?
- The challenge of culture
If you are looking for materials for further reading or resources on a specific topic, please take a look at the non-quality controlled section. Members of the resource corner can add materials to this section by clicking on 'add content' button at the bottom of this page. If you are not yet a member, you can sign up now!
