Abstract
This chapter answers the question what is understood by leadership development and the different types of leadership development practices found in organizations. It considers the state of the leadership development–organizational outcomes literature and reviews the studies that have investigated the organizational outcomes of leadership development practices. The chapter categorizes leadership development practices into formal leadership development programs, experience-based leadership development programs, and relationship-based leadership development programs and reviews the organizational outcomes for each of these different sets of practices. It concludes by summarizing an agenda for future research on leadership development and organizational outcomes.
