Today we often look to our leaders in business, government, or the social sector, to make effective decisions in a complex world. Whether they are asked what steps to take to improve competitiveness in a global economy or to make tough ethical choices, well-trained leaders are critical to organizational effectiveness. Although we know much about leadership development for individuals after they take their first job, we know relatively little about their earlier experiences that contributed to their interest in leadership or subsequent effectiveness as leaders. This volume brings together researchers who explore leadership at different points before individuals enter the workforce and asks important questions surrounding definitions of leadership behavior, necessary leader skills and age-related leader tasks, factors contributing to development of leader identity, and ways to improve the process of leader development. With contributions from well-known leadership researchers such as Robert Sternberg, Howard Gardner, Bruce Avolio, and Susan Komives, the volume shows research evidence for factors such as early childhood and youth experiences on leadership development, which have implications for the way we understand and train leadership in today’s organizations.

The only book of its kind, Empowered is designed as a text for in-house leadership development programs and leadership curriculums in higher education, packed with tools, techniques, and activities for developing leaders in four masteries (personal, interpersonal, team, and systems).Institutions across North America are actively building in-house leadership development programs that can identify and groom future leaders. But many approaches to leadership development are designed around prescriptive formulas that ignore the more essential, humanistic aspects where real leadership begins and occurs - they don't effectively empower the leader as a whole person, or how to empower others with the same.This unique book by leadership expert C. Clinton Sidle provides a developmental approach, examining not only leadership in its many aspects, but how we lead meaningfully with purpose, conviction, and skill. Use this text:1) As an out-of-the-box leadership development program. Facilitator's notes, assignments, activities, and debrief instructions are included in the text.2) As a supplement to your existing program. The text is modular in design, so you can easily plug the most relevant modules into your current programming. 3) For your personal enrichment as a leader.
