Forming Leadership: Approaches Taken in Developing Leadership and Management Capability

Abstract

This chapter presents and analyses the responses from interviewees about their understanding of university leadership development by universities and by other organisations with responsibilities to support one or more levels of university leadership (such as Rectors) or with legislative responsibilities to support universities (such as national or regional government agencies). Although highly interrelated, the two components to this research question entailed a focus on what is being provided and what the interviewee believes should be offered or is needed. Respondents were given the opportunity to use their discretion to elaborate and offer related ideas and suggestions.
