Mindsets of Leadership Education Undergraduates: An Approach to Program Assessment
Ho, Sarah P.; Odom, Summer F.
Journal of Leadership Education, v14 n1 p92-106 Win 2015
Students (N = 313) in undergraduate leadership degree programs at Texas A&M University were surveyed to determine their leadership mindset using hierarchical and systemic thinking preferences. Significant differences in thinking were found between gender and academic classification. Male leadership students scored greater in hierarchical thinking than females. Seniors, leadership students typically in their last semester of studies, scored significantly lower in hierarchical thinking than juniors. Findings indicate formal leadership coursework influences students' leadership mindsets.
