Validating the Ready, Willing, and Able Leader Scale of Student Leadership Capacity
Rosch, David M.; Collins, Jasmine D.
Journal of Leadership Education, v19 n1 p84-98 Jan 2020
Numerous difficulties exist in employing psychometrically sound quantitative measures of leadership development that are both generalizable and brief. Here, we highlight our efforts in creating the Ready, Willing, and Able Leader (RWAL) Scale. This instrument of leadership capacity: (a) has been psychometrically validated for use with college student populations; (b) includes measures of leadership capacity that are known to be essential to effective leadership practice (leader self-efficacy, motivation, and skill); (c) is broad enough for use across diverse educational and developmental contexts; and (d) is brief and concise.
