Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the prominence of leadership in management and organizational contexts, leadership praxis exists in multiple domains. For example, leadership development programs exist across a range of contexts: for profit, non-profit, higher education, community development, agriculture and the food system, and so forth. This Special Issue provides a platform to share leadership development and assessment both inside and outside traditional organizational contexts. What are the primary competencies associated with leadership development programs? What are the assessed and evaluated results for various leadership development programs? What are the general trends within the leadership development program literature? Authors are invited to share empirical results and review articles on the concepts of leadership development and leadership assessment.
