From the editors' opening overview to their closing glimpse of the future, readers will acquire an in-depth understanding of the key components of successful leadership development as well as hands-on methods for designing, enabling, and enhancing their own initiatives. For human resouce managers, training professionals, and the line managers who are playing an increasingly active role in the development of their staffs, The Center for Creative Leadership Handbok of Leadership Development is an indispensable resource from the most prestigious organization in the field.
