| Abstract: | The authors combine Conger's four approaches to leadership development with 20 sources of learning commonly found in student leadership development activities. The first study asked students to share how they think they would like to learn about leadership. In other words, which sources of learning would a student select to improve leadership skill training, from a broad list of options? The second study asked the same questions but occurred on the final day of three multiday leadership institutes. Students showed a preference for developmental activities where the primary learning objective was personal growth and skill building. Students also had a preference for personalized developmental opportunities over activities designed for general group‐oriented development. |
