AN EXPLORATION OF THEORIES OF ACTION IN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT: A CASE STUDY
| Title: | AN EXPLORATION OF THEORIES OF ACTION IN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT: A CASE STUDY |
| Author: | Allen, Scott J. |
| Description: | The central purpose of the present study was to examine how academic notions of leadership development compare and contrast with the theory of action that guides corporate leadership development initiatives. A secondary purpose was to analyze the process and potential extensions of the user-focused theory of action approach. Initial findings suggest that the user-focused theory of action approach is transferable to the case studied. In addition, an analysis of the leadership development literature and the Frontline Leadership Excellence System yielded a thought-provoking comparison of theory and practice. The study also provided an analysis of literature gaps and useful suggestions regarding the user-focused theory of action process and extensions for practice.
