Transforming Graduate Education: Developing Leaders for the 21st Century
Rhee, Kenneth S.; Sigler, Tracey Honeycutt
Journal of Leadership Education, v19 n2 p105-119 Apr 2020
What would a graduate program look like if its purpose was to create transformational leaders? How and what would we teach? How and what would students learn? How would students work together? What would be the role of the faculty? This paper describes the creation and delivery of a graduate program that develops students as transformational leaders. The paper also outlines the paradigmatic shifts in design principles used in the program to achieve our purpose. The outcome assessment of students' leadership competencies at the conclusion of the program showed marked improvement. In a final reflection paper, students share the impact the program has had on transforming their lives.
