ABSTRACT
Introduction Organization-sponsored leadership development is more often aligned with the organization’s goals than with the individual’s goals. These programs are developed and applied in a generic fashion to teams of candidates, sometimes dozens at a time. They focus on general leadership principles such as relationships, communication, and finance. Participants are expected to promote corporate brands and learn delegation and management techniques. These programs can require candidates to take on leadership projects as a part of their learning curriculum, but these managers usually have limited project management experience and little understanding of project processes.
