Preparing Leadership Educators

A comprehensive guide to theories, practices, and facilitation skills.

Core Components of the Book

Laying a Leadership Foundation

The initial chapters of Preparing Leadership Educators explore the “what” and “who” of leadership. It is important for leadership educators to understand what leadership is and who leadership educators are - as well as the leadership training and development landscape. This introductory section sheds light upon our leadership cast who will be the focus of the remainder of this book.

Leadership Theory

Leadership educators know about leadership. We have to. In order maximize and flex this identity, it is imperative that we have a deep understanding of leadership. We need to be well-versed in the history, scholarship, and breadth of literature. Part Two of Preparing Leadership Educators explores leadership theory. Included are two dozen theories and themes that can and should ground our knowledge base and inform our leadership trainings.

Leadership Practices

Leadership practices inform what we do when leading. Our leadership practice is ultimately derived from the compilation of our daily leadership routines and decisions—our habits. With intentional attention, these can become healthy leadership habits. Albeit not a definitive list, Preparing Leadership Educators, provides a comprehensive list of a dozen-and-a-half leadership practices that can inform our leadership trainings—with tailored experiential learning activities and instructions for each of these practices.

Facilitation Leadership Trainings

The most amazing and impactful leadership training experiences are developmental not because of luck or randomness. It is because exceptional leadership educators utilize a grounded approach to craft and facilitate leadership-developmental training experiences. Without the foundational facilitation tactics and techniques, though, we are limited in our abilities to train others in leadership. Part IV of Preparing Leadership Educators focuses on how to craft facilitated experiences and then how to facilitate these trainings with dynamism so that participants’ leadership learning can be maximized.
