  • “Why do people follow bad leaders? That’s a question we’ve been concerned with…”
  • “Leader development focuses on individual development focused on the leader. Leadership development is focusing on developing the collective capacity of leaders and followers, the unit, the team, the department.” (For more on this concept, see David Day’s article Leadership Development: A Review in Context).
