The evolution of a leader.

摘要

Leaders, as they develop, evolve through a series of stages. At each stage, development can be fostered or, unfortunately, at times, neglected. Organized leadership development experiences, utilizing tested and proven methods, can both unlock potential and create a cascade of learning that benefits the individual leader, his or her colleagues, and the organizations that they lead. The nature of the developmental experience is influenced by the leader's stage of development and the attendant capabilities of the leader. In this article, I will share a simple model that describes 4 stages in the evolution of a leader and related development approaches at each stage.
