Abstract

ABSTRACT Leadership development in academia is generating a lot of interest due to its idiosyncrasies and complexities, as well as recent studies highlighting the neglect of systematic leadership development in academia. The purpose of this qualitative research study is to discover the subjective experiences of academic leaders enrolled in leadership development. Following a leadership development program and focus groups, the main finding is that the subjective experience of academics enrolled in leadership development is positive, leading to greater knowledge, self-awareness, self-reflection, and the development of emotional intelligence, leadership styles, and skills in building high performing teams. The subjective experience is shaped by leadership development through experience, communication, and interaction with other leaders in a community of learning. Practical and theoretical implications, together with recommendations, in this study are a source of useful information for higher education institutions recognising the need to nurture the core competency of leadership within their academic cadre.

摘要学术界的领导力发展因其独特性和复杂性而引起了人们的极大兴趣，最近的研究也强调了学术界对系统领导力发展的忽视。这项定性研究的目的是发现参与领导力发展的学术领导者的主观体验。根据领导力发展计划和焦点小组，主要发现参与领导力发展的学者的主观体验是积极的，从而获得更多的知识、自我意识、自我反思，并发展情商、领导风格和建立高绩效团队的技能。主观经验是通过经验、沟通以及与学习社区中其他领导者的互动来形成领导力的。本研究中的实践和理论启示以及建议为高等教育机构认识到培养其学术骨干核心领导能力的必要性提供了有用的信息来源。
