Guiding the Way: A Review and Annotated Bibliography of Leader and Leadership Development

Abstract

Leadership and individual leader development is an important topic for many organizations, and is especially relevant to the United States Army. As the Army turns its focus to the future operations landscape, a better understanding of the factors influencing leader development is required. This paper covers four themes in leadership and leader development research: (a) conceptual concerns in the literature, (b) the importance of study design in development research, (c) expanding the developmental criteria, and (d) how experiences and individual factors play a role in the developmental process. The purpose of this paper and annotated bibliography is to help inform current and future research on leadership and individual leader development, all of which will inform future leader assessment and training methods.
