Reviews"This inspiring book fills a critical void in the leadership development field. Its diversity of evaluation content, authors, and approaches makes it an invaluable resource for anyone involved in designing, implementing, and evaluating leadership development programs. A must-have!" ?Hallie Preskill, professor, School of Behavioral and Organizational Sciences, Claremont Graduate University, and president-elect, American Evaluation Association "With so many funders using leadership development as a strategy, this book couldn't have come at a better time. More than a collection of individual chapters, this volume presents synthetic collaboration among the authors and the editors to explore how a variety of evaluation strategies are critical to the design, implementation, and outcomes of leadership programs. It is an important contribution to the field." ?Constance Pechura, executive director, Treatment Research Institute "This Handbook is a must-have resource for anyone interested in the evaluation of leadership development programs. Evaluators working in other areas will also learn much." ?Melvin M. Mark, president, American Evaluation Association, editor emeritus, American Journal of Evaluation , and professor of psychology, Pennsylvania State University "This handbook cuts through the fog already created in the field. If you want real answers to basic leadership evaluation, get this Handbook. And use it." ?Roger Kaufman, professor emeritus, Florida State University, distinguished research professor, Sonora Institute of Technology, Mexico, and director, Roger Kaufman & Associates "Leadership development has always existed in the context of the problem, the community, and the intended outcome'finally, we can come closer to assessing the true contribution of leadership development to the outcomes achieved." ?Rick Foster, vice president for leadership programs, W.K. Kellogg Foundation

SynopsisWith the increase in the number of organizational leadership development programs, there is a pressing need for evaluation to answer important questions, improve practice, and inform decisions. The Handbook is a comprehensive resource filled with examples, tools, and the most innovative models and approaches designed to evaluate leadership development in a variety of settings. It will help you answer the most common questions about leadership development efforts, including: What difference does leadership development make? What development and support strategies work best to enhance leadership? Is the time and money spent on leadership development worthwhile? What outcomes can be expected from leadership development? How can leadership development efforts be sustained?, The book will provide readers with the comprehensive, multi-perspective look at evaluation of leadership development efforts. The language of the book is practical and relevant to a broad audience (both practitioners and researchers)., Praise for The Handbook of Leadership Development Evaluation "This inspiring book fills a critical void in the leadership development field.
