Summary:

In this volume of New Directions for Student Leadership on Leader Developmental Readiness, each chapter includes suggestions and implications for leader development practitioners, often emphasizing different phases of one's career - pre-college, college years, and early career. The authors explicitly focus on these 'early' life stages because they are especially formative in terms of development. Setting individuals on a positive trajectory of leadership learning early on in life maximizes the likelihood and capacity for growth across the lifespan. Providing researchers and practitioners with a long-lens perspective on leader development helps ingrain the understanding that developmental readiness may wax and wane over time and impact one's level of engagement in formal or informal leader development programs. An increased understanding of developmental readiness and how to effectively use it will help both individual leader self-development efforts as well as organized, formal programs in attaining the ultimate goal of increasing and accelerating leader development. This will be of interest to administrators, faculty, and practitioners involved in leadership development programs. Book jacket.
