This document contains four papers from a symposium on leadership and executive development. The study reported in "Leadership and Culture: Work-Related Values and Leadership Styles among U.S. and German Employees" (K. Peter Kuchinke) revealed only a weak correlation between cultural values and leadership styles. Critical incident technique was used to examine the learning triggers, strategies, and meaning made of learning experiences in "Making the Tacit Explicit: Constructing Meaning from Learning Experiences of Senior Managers of Romanian Private Companies in the Transition to a Free-Market Economy" (Maria Cseh). "Behaviors Related to Perceptions of Leadership in Self-directed Project Groups" (Judith A. Kolb) reports the development of a leader emergence scale used to gather information on individuals identified as preferred group leaders. "Never Let Them See You Smile: The Lack of Expressiveness among Senior Organizational Leaders" (Jamie Callahan Fabian) reports on a study of 781 male and 669 female organizational leaders in which males reported themselves to be significantly more expressive than females, although both groups reported extremely low levels of expressiveness.
