How Strategic Focus Relates to the Delivery of Leadership Training and Development
通过对10家英国企业案例研究，发现领导力培训与开发的战略聚焦由企业追求的业务目标塑造，并作为权变因素影响培训交付模式，对理解不同组织情境下的领导力开发配置有参考价值。
Despite progress in the development of leadership development models over recent years, these models fail to account for the differentiation in leadership training and development ( LTD ) practices found between organizations. We conducted an exploratory, multiple case study of formal leadership training and development in 10 organizations, in different business sectors in the United Kingdom. We show that the strategic focus of LTD was shaped by the business goals pursued by these 10 organizations. We also found the strategic focus of LTD to be a broad contingency factor differentiated by level of impact, which then influenced the pattern of LTD delivery. The findings offer support for a contingency perspective in explaining how leadership training and development is configured in differing organizational contexts. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
