Best Practice Principles in Leadership Development Interventions: An Australian Perspective

Abstract

This paper explores the extent and nature of organizational compliance with best practice in leadership development initiatives. The purpose is to identify whether learning and development managers are following best practice principles in the design and delivery of leadership development initiatives. A selfadministered survey instrument in the form of a questionnaire was mailed to three hundred and seventynine (379) learning and development managers in Australian companies. One hundred and thirteen (113) usable questionnaires were returned. Finds a high level of compliance among the surveyed companies to most best practice principles. A sizable minority of respondents indicated minimal compliance to several principles. There are implications for practitioners who design and deliver leadership development initiatives and for those who outsource their leadership development to third parties. Many companies could have opportunities to improve the quality and integrity of their leadership development initiatives.
