This call for proposals encourages researchers engaged in cutting edge leadership development research and/or practice to share their work in a special issue and a conference on that topic. This special issue call is in conjunction with the 27th Kravis-de Roulet Leadership Conference to be held March 1-2, 2019 at Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, CA USA. Authors of proposals selected by the editorial team for the conference presentation will have an opportunity to showcase their work at the conference. Please note that authors who are unable to attend the conference will still get equal consideration by the editors in the review process. The timeline and important dates for the conference and special issue submissions are provided below.
Paying attention to the distinction between leader and leadership development (Day, 2000), topics that will be considered – for either empirical or theoretical contributions – include, but are not limited to:
- New ways of understanding how leaders and leadership develop;
- Approaches that facilitate the development of collective forms of leadership;
- Integrative, multidisciplinary, or transdisciplinary approaches to leadership development;
- Methods linking the development of leaders with collective leadership development;
- Evidence demonstrating the value or effectiveness of leader or leadership development interventions;
- Technological advances that facilitate the development of leaders and/or leadership;
- Developmental approaches in specific contexts (e.g., healthcare, professional services, education, military), which may not easily translate into other contexts but could advance deeper insights into leadership development (Bamberger & Pratt, 2010).
