Description |
Interested in essential theories or activities for personal leadership development? This collection describes 18 academic leadership development programs. Each program chapter explores the history, curriculum, leadership theories, and author-participant perspectives on that program and the final chapters explore whether leadership development programs develop leadership, the value of attending a leadership development program, and what a participant can reasonably expect, and ought never expect, if they attend a particular program.
