Abstract:
Purpose. The purpose of this dissertation is to present three main outcomes of
the systematic review undertaken:
- A synthesis of extant literature on leadership development from the angle
of constructive developmental theory.
- A review of the two approaches in constructive developmental theory most
widely used in conjunction with studies of leadership development.
- An integrative framework of the process and context of leadership
development from the constructive developmental perspective. In
exploring the directions of further inquiry, the framework is applied to the
development of a transformational style of leadership in the settings of
executive leadership development initiatives. Cont/d.
