Abstract: Our fast-changing global society is in need of a new type of leadership.This leadership must foster know-how and know-why, abilities to perform and conceptual ways to create meaning.How can such leadership be developed?Three faculty members from a graduate leadership program share their discoveries about leadership development from working with hundreds of leaders.They share the history and characteristics of the program and the emerging theoretical understandings on leadership development that guide the program.They explore the confusion over what can or cannot be taught in leadership, the tension between scholarship and practice, and the role and place of individual and community development.They use these issues to support their fundamental observation that learning theories and processes must be central in growing leadership capacity in individuals and institutions.
