ABSTRACT
This chapter suggests that leadership, management and organisational development are all parts of the same process namely enhancing the capacity of organisations and the people within them to better achieve their purpose. Despite the interdependence of these systems, however, they are often treated in relative isolation as a series of discrete initiatives outsourced to different parts of the organisation: human resources (HR), finance, information and communications technology (ICT). Gosling and Mintzberg argue there is a certain quality of conversation that takes place in a well-managed classroom that is almost unique, where the fruits of experience, theory and reflection are brought together into a new understanding and commitment. It concludes with an integrated framework for leadership development that highlights some of the key issues and questions that organisations, groups and individuals are advised to consider when attempting to line up organisational, leadership and management development.
