MGT 475 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Fundamental Attribution Error, Leadership Development, Action Learning
Document Summary
Leadership development - focus on developing shared properties of whole groups or social systems. Leadership development depends not just on the kinds of experiences one has but also on how one uses them to foster growth. Action-observation-reflection (a-o-r) model - shows that leadership development is enhanced when the experience involves three different processes: action, observation, and reflection. Most productive way to develop as a leader is to travel along the spiral of experience. Key role of perception in the spiral of experience. Perception and observation both deal with attending to events around us. Perceptual sets - can influence nay of our senses, and they are the tendency or bias to perceive on thing and not another. Often, we become aware only when we spend time reflecting about the content of a leadership training program or a particular leadership situation. Attribution - explanations we develop for the behaviors or actions we attend to.
