Some managers may be effective leaders without ever having taken a course or training
program in leadership.
Some scholars in the field of leadership may be relatively poor leaders themselves.
70/20/10 Model - Answer -- 70 percent of a leader's development comes from
challenging on-the-job experiences
- 20 percent of a leader's development comes from personal relationships with others
(coaching, mentoring)
- 10 percent of a leader's development comes from formal learning experiences
(workshops)
how individuals develop through challenging experiences - Answer -- Knowledge
structures grow and develop when they are challenged by novel information
, obtained via experience
- Challenging experiences facilitate skill development by motivating individuals to exert
additional effort to acquire the skills demanded of them.
(chart 1)
Coaching - Answer -a key leadership skill that can help leaders improve the bench
strength of the group and retain high-quality followers
"process of equipping people with the tools, knowledge, and opportunities they need to
develop and become more successful."
Mentoring - Answer -a personal relationship in which a more experienced mentor acts
as a guide, role model, and sponsor of a less experienced protégé, an experienced
person willing to take you under his/her wing
- Mentors provide protégés with knowledge, advice, challenge, counsel, and
support about career opportunities.
**Mentoring is not the same as coaching because it may not target specific
development needs and the mentor may not even be part of the company
multisource feedback - Answer -Receiving feedback from multiple sources (e.g.,
supervisor, peers) about our
performance is important for our development. Awareness of discrepancies between
how we see ourselves and how others see us enhances self-awareness. This enhanced
self-awareness is a key to leadership development
Feedback on specific behaviors enables leaders to set specific goals to develop
leadership skills.
Action-Observation-Reflection Model - Answer -shows that leadership development is
enhanced when the experience involves three different processes: Action, Observation,
& Reflection
the role of reflection in leader development - Answer -Reflection offers leaders insights
about framing problems differently, viewing situations
from multiple perspectives, and understanding followers better
Single-loop learners - Answer -seek relatively little feedback that may significantly
confront their fundamental ideas or actions.
- Individuals learn only about subjects within the "comfort zone" of their belief systems.
Double-loop learning - Answer -involves being willing to confront one's own views and
inviting others to do the same.
- Mastering this type of learning can be thought of as learning how to learn.
- Learning is enhanced with after event reviews (AERs).
after event reviews (AERs) - Answer -a learning procedure that gives learners an
opportunity to systematically
