Welcome to this session on developing leaders and leadership understanding developmental processes. My name is David Day and I've been involved in leadership research and practice for about 25 years. One of the things that has struck me is while there's a lot of attention paid to leadership theories and testing different approaches to leadership, what organizations really care about is developing leaders and developing leadership. One of the things that we'll be discussing today is the difference between those two factors of developing leaders and developing leadership.

This is a summary agenda for the presentation I will be providing to you. We'll start with some overarching definitions of leader development and leadership development, how they differ. Also relatedly, differences between human capital and social capital, and how they relate to the different forms of development. We'll then turn our attention to some of the content of leader development, looking at what develops as part of leader development. Then, I'll review some issues around the process. That is what are the kinds of processes that are thought to take place as people develop as leaders or as leadership develops in broader collectives. I'll also review some methods that are commonly used to develop leaders and then we'll turn our attention to leadership development and the topic about enhancing leadership capacity in collectives, whether those collectives be groups or teams or larger organizations. Finally, we will wrap up with a look to state of the art practice around integrating leader development with leadership development in organizational developmental systems. There are some general objectives for the presentation.
