Title: Talk About It: Ways to Strengthen Leadership Development Evaluation

Description:

If your expertise lies elsewhere, the language and processes of leadership development evaluation may sound like Greek to you. But it's important that everyone - executives and managers, HR pros and training consultants - engage in the conversation of evaluation.

According to Claire Reinelt, an editor of The Handbook of Leadership Development Evaluation and the research and evaluation director for the Leadership Learning Community, designing leadership development evaluations is a complex process. No single leadership practitioner, evaluator or funder can figure it out alone, she explains.

Asking good questions is an excellent way to unearth challenges, get to the heart of an issue, and clarify expectations and outcomes. Based on a discussion guide developed by the Leadership Learning Community's evaluation learning circle, the Center for Creative Leadership offers a series of questions intended to strengthen leadership development evaluation efforts in your organization.
