Preferred term

leadership development  

Definition

  • Leadership development refers to an individual's preparation for advancement to a level of major responsibility within an organization (chief executive officer, chief operating officer, vice president, managing director) and to the continuous learning of those who already occupy these positions. Preparation may begin early in a person's career through participation in education or training programs (e.g., a several-day or weeklong program delivered at an organization's training center, a university, or a company that specializes in leadership development programs) and initial job experiences (positions and developmental job assignments).
