Evolving Leaders: A Model for Promoting Leadership Development in Programs, CCL Press, 1995

Charles J. Palus and Wilfred H. Drath

This publication presents an explicit model of how an important aspect of leadership development - individual psychological development - can be promoted in programs. It specifies: (1) readiness factors (trait, state, environmental, and sociocultural); (2) developmental processes (experience, disequilibrium, equilibrium, construction, and potentiation); and (3) outcomes (competencies and taking action, meaning structures, developmental stages, and holding environments). These are illustrated with a case study.
