With the increase in the number of organizational leadership
development programs, there is a pressing need for evaluation to
answer important questions, improve practice, and inform decisions.
The Handbook is a comprehensive resource filled with
examples, tools, and the most innovative models and approaches
designed to evaluate leadership development in a variety of
settings. It will help you answer the most common questions about
leadership development efforts, including:
* What difference does leadership development make?
* What development and support strategies work best to enhance
leadership?
* Is the time and money spent on leadership development
worthwhile?
* What outcomes can be expected from leadership development?
* How can leadership development efforts be sustained?
