Building Theory on Leadership Development

细分领域

“What are the developmental implications of specific constructs/theories of leadership?”

Constructs: e.g., authentic, shared, paradoxical, instrumental, adaptive, etc. How should leadership development be designed to develop specific facets of leadership within and between different domains/contexts and for different target populations?

Theories: e.g., Social Identity Model of Leadership, Leader Categorization Theory, LMX-theory, Leader emergence via claiming-granting, Leader Identity, Systems Psychodynamic theories of Leadership, etc. How can theories about leadership be translated into a leadership development intervention to foster different leadership orientations and styles?

Mechanisms: e.g., Social learning processes, Self-fulfilling Prophecies, Social Exchanges, etc. How do they drive or contribute to the development of leaders?

“How is development different depending on the context?”

Timeframe: theories on what can realistically be developed in more short-term LDP versus how long-term LDP for more complex leadership theories.

Change: theories that deal with how interventions tackle readiness vs. resistance to change, overcoming potential unreadiness to develop leadership both in terms of the individual and the context in which they are embedded over time.

Technology: technology-supported learning, including AI – how can LDPs utilize such technologies to enhance development?

“How does leadership development emerge within, and interact with, existing theories of management?”

HR management: e.g., job design, performance management, career development. How can insights from HR research inform both LDPs themselves, and how can we develop leaders to successfully perform these tasks?

Managerial cognition: e.g., epiphanies, mindfulness, identity work, embodiment. How can we utilize what we know about these areas to create programs that will provide personal insight for leaders and support to implement them in their work?

Organizational behavior: e.g., voice, courage, feedback-seeking behavior, listening and question-asking. How do these fields inform the range of skills and competencies that should be addressed in LDPs?

“What theories explain the workings of the leadership development industry?”

Within organizations: e.g., selection, retention, evaluation of LDPs. How do we guide organizations in making rigorous decisions in their use of LDPs?

Between organizations: e.g., partnership, trust, and credibility. How do they impact the sustainability of the industry (e.g., academia-consulting partnerships or spin-offs)?

Industry-wide: e.g., legitimacy, accreditation, professionalization. How can we establish and advance leadership development as a field to meet standards common in other professional fields (e.g., medical doctors, or psychologists)?
