This book presents the first evidence-based approach to Authentic
Leadership Development. It is based on a group-coaching format that
brings together small groups of leaders to discuss personally
significant leadership issues generally not explored in usual
leadership development, such as the influence of their personal
histories, the impact of their psychological make-up, and the
ambitions for their future leadership. The book starts with an
overview of the idea of authenticity and its philosophical roots,
and explains how this informs the past/present/future
group-coaching approach to Authentic Leadership Development. It
presents statistical and conceptual evidence of the program's
efficacy and explores how the social processes at work within the
group positively impact and develop the leader's self-concept and
the benefits this brings. Importantly, it also details exactly how
the leader changes and grows as a result of the group-coaching, and
the positive ways in which this benefits their leadership role and
the organisations they work in. Finally, it questions the notion of
ethics and morals in Authentic Leadership and critically
re-appraises the idea of leadership development evaluation.
Authentic Leadership Development group-coaching has been shown to
develop leaders that are conscious, competent, confident and
congruent and as the qualitative analysis presented in the book
illustrates, these 4 over-arching categories are made up of 7
further key leadership attributes that are developed, which include
an enhanced Strategic Orientation, increased Confidence and Clarity
and greater Management Mindfulness, among others. The book also
features personal vignettes throughout, which illustrate how
individual leaders have effectively applied these newly developed
attributes in their leadership roles. An Evidence-based Approach to
Authentic Leadership Development represents essential reading for
leaders who want to engage in a 'proven' form of ALD. It will be of
great interest to professionals across a variety of industries who
have responsibility to provide robust leadership development
programs for their organisations, as well as coaches specialising
in executive, business and leadership coaching and those interested
in new applications for group coaching.
