Effectively Measuring Student Leadership, Barry Z. Posner
Effectively Measuring Student Leadership, Barry Z. Posner
Management & Entrepreneurship
With a worldwide sample of students (N = 77, 387), this paper reviews and analyses the psychometric properties of the Student Leadership Practices Inventory [1]. Modest to strong internal reliability coefficients are found across a number of different dimensions. Predictive validity of the instrument is supported, with the instrument being able to differentiate between effective and ineffective leaders using both self-reported and observer (constituent) data. Few significant differences are found on the basis of respondent gender, ethnicity, nationality, or institutional level (high school versus college). Implications for developing student leaders and future research are offered.

Exploring The Relationship Between Learning And Leadership, Lillas Brown, Barry Z. Posner
Management & Entrepreneurship
This paper investigates how two important research streams, namely learning and leadership, might be related with one another. Responses on the learning tactics inventory and leadership practices inventory are compared for a managerial sample (n = 312). Results indicate that more active and versatile learners subsequently consider themselves more frequently involved and engaged in leadership behaviors. Implications for transformational learning and leadership theories are explored, as well as thoughts about how the development of leadership competencies may be enhanced and affected by various learning techniques.

A Leadership Development Instrument For College Students, Barry Z. Posner, Barbara Brodsky
Management & Entrepreneurship
Few people question the importance of leadership in organizational effectiveness, even though there is little agreement about how to develop leaders. Nevertheless, nearly every college and university has established some sort of leadership education program for students (Hirschorn, 1988), demonstrating a belief that leadership can be learned and enhanced through an educational process.
