Leadership Development
Description
Professor George has completed his research study on leadership development, based on in-person, in-depth interviews with 125 business and non-profit leaders, over half of whom are chief executive officers. They range in age from 23 to 93, with thirty per cent women. As the result of this research study, his new book, True North: Discover Your Authentic Leadership, was published in March 2007.
Continuing his research on leadership development, he has developed a series of leadership exercises for individuals and groups to use in developing their leadership. These exercises can be used in academic courses for undergraduates, graduate students, and executive education as well as in corporate education and training sessions. This research has resulted in a new book, Finding Your True North: A Personal Guide, that will serve as a companion to True North and will be published in May 2008.
His current research focuses on the use of leadership discussion groups, with peer facilitators, to enable individuals to discover their authentic leadership and to develop themselves.
