The Effectiveness of the Leadership Studies Program.

Abstract: The Leadership Studies Program is designed to fulfill the societal need for future leaders.

The program focuses on nine areas necessary for leadership development as derived from the literature on adult leadership training: fundamentals of leadership, written and speech communication, group dynamics, problem solving, values clarification, personal skills, decision making, and planning. As a result of this training, the students who participated in this study gained significantly in all nine areas of leadership as measured by the Leadership Skills Inventory.

Enhancing Public Affairs Participation through Leadership Development Education: Key Questions for Community Development Research and Practice.

Abstract: The past five years have seen a significant expansion of rural and agricultural leadership development programs offered by university and private sector partnerships. These programs provide a valuable opportunity for understanding, as well as increasing effective participation of citizens in public affairs. Available data and selected literature were examined in order to identify key questions to guide future research and practice in community leadership development. Questions pertaining to (1) the ways programs influence individual and societal participation in public affairs, (2) institutional advocacy in public affairs education and (3) the design of rural and agricultural leadership programs are proposed. Community development practitioners and researchers are urged to examine the expanding base of leadership development programs in order to strengthen the vital practice of community and public affairs leadership development.

Leader Development Training Assessment of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Brigade Commanders

Abstract: : This report documents the conduct and results of the evaluation of a Leader Development Course taught to Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) brigade Commanders. After attending the course, 25 brigade commanders received questionnaires to determine (1) what the contribution of the course to enhancing job proficiency relative to costs was and (2) at what stage(s) of an officer's career should such a self/leader development experience occur. Findings of the effort included the following: (1) A leadership development course akin to that provided by the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) is viewed as being of very positive benefit to the Army; (2) targets for an intense Leader Development experience should be battalion commander designees; (3) the CCL course as now constituted would not be acceptable for general use in the Army; (4) mentoring as a methodology for developing human resource potential within the Army is not well understood; (5) the most significant mind-broadening experience for senior officers appears to be the Army War College; and (6) communication across field grade and general officer rank boundaries appears to be limited. Keywords: Army training; Leadership training.

Empowering Rural People: Strategic Planning and Training for Community Survival

Abstract: Community Quest is a problem-solving model for rural communities which connects leadership development with local issues. Leadership is a lifelong pursuit, developed through practical experiences in our own communities. By building on community strengths, a region can clarify its collective mission to direct power and resources toward a shared vision. The goal is to link communities in a shared agenda for the region. Innovative techniques are used to involve more people in the community's decision-making process. A three-stage process which combines research and problem-solving methods brings decision makers and stakeholders together for strategic planning.
