Leadership development may include, but not limited to, leadership training (e.g., learning organizations, change management, strategic planning, leadership versus management concepts), skills assessments (e.g., Gallup, Leadership Competency Survey, StrengthsFinder, Myers-Briggs), and development, administration, and/or evaluation of leadership programs (e.g., conduct retreats, participant recognition, curriculum development).
