Leading Leadership Research: A Framework for Research and Practice

In this video, David Day, of The University of Western Australia Business School in Crawley, Australia, outlines a framework for leader development over time. Dr. Day explains that focusing research and intervention on proximal indicators, like competencies and self-views, helps determine longer-term outcomes, such as hierarchical complexity and sophisticated sense-making, matching these to the leaders’ environments.

The video is based on the article entitled "Leadership Development: An Outcome-Oriented Review Based on Time and Levels of Analyses,” which he co-wrote with Lisa Dragoni, of the Business School at Wake Forest University in North Carolina, USA.
