Institute blasts leadership development in higher education
New book takes academia to task, provides evidence-based blueprint for training students to become future leaders
HOUSTON – (Jan. 19, 2020) – Colleges and universities claim to develop leaders, but according to Rice University’s Doerr Institute for New Leaders, the only evidence is found in recruiting materials and ad campaigns.
The institute has published what it calls an intervention: “Leadership Reckoning,” a book that provides an evidence-based blueprint for effective, measurable leader development. It is being sent to top colleges and universities around the country to encourage them to take leadership development seriously, according to authors Tom Kolditz, director of the Doerr Institute, Ryan Brown, the institute’s managing director for measurement, and award-winning author Libby Gill.
