Chapter 11: Leadership, Learning andDevelopment
Summarize the Chapter - correct answer ✔✔This chapter begins by looking at the historical
development of thinking on leadership learning and development. The chapter then reviews traditional
approaches to leadership development, based on the pursuit of self-awareness and self-actualization.
These ideas appear to be the mainstay of leadership development practice. The chapter then changes
focus slightly by looking at various triggers to leadership development and learning that have informed
notions of becoming and identity in leadership learning. The chapter also looks at the practical need to
evaluate leadership development programmes: this includes the need to assess the return on
investment of a programme and issues of the relevance of what is increasingly becoming an expensive
part of an organization’s budget. The chapter also highlights recent research that looks at alternative
paradigms of leadership development evaluation that include taking a culturally, complexity and critically
appreciated view of leadership development and learning.
In a publication in 2001 Kim Turnbull James and John Burgoyne set out some principles for leadership
development best practice for organisations. They suggested that leadership development should have
three strategic principles, which are those? - correct answer ✔✔• Leadership development must be
driven from the top: if the CEO is not intimately involved and committed to it, it is not worth starting.
• Leadership development supports and drives the business: if it is not central to an organisation's
strategy, it will not happen.
• A leadership model must be culturally attuned: it must reflect the culture of the organisation.
Leadership Development as Self-development - correct answer ✔✔The traditional view of leadership
development is as leader development and largely revolves around the notion of self-developmen. These
ideas are played out in a number of leadership development programmes that are of a self-improvement
and experiential nature. The idea being that one can develop in a Maslowvian sense towards ideals of
self-awareness, self-control and self-realisation or -actualisation in conjunction with methodologies of an
experiential nature
This view is epitomised by the following quote by Warren Bennis:
