Leaders are made, not born and how they develop is critical for organizational change…

In this article we explore our proposition that leaders are made, not born, and that how they develop is critical for organisational change. The article characterises the broad patterns of leadership exercised by adults at seven different developmental positions, with examples of such leadership in action. We propose that transformation from one stage to another is possible and explore the outcome of this for individual leaders and the organisations they inhabit. Our research is based in part on the Leadership Development Profile.
