Selected Readings - What is Leadership Development?
Purpose and Practice
Bolden
R. (ed.)
This report is the follow-up to the report "What is Leadership?" and the second in a series of research studies carried out by Leadership South West.
SIts aim is to explore the current range of approaches to leadership development available to individuals and organisations and the assumptions and principles that underlie them. The intention is both to provide practical advice on best practice, but above all, to challenge organisations to consider the ways in which they go about developing management and leadership capability and what they hope to achieve by doing this.
The report does not explore the content of leadership development programmes in great detail or the organisational contexts in which it can be applied.
