Abstract

Millennials are redefining what it means to develop future leaders. In business organizations, leadership development—defined as “the expansion of a person's capacity to be effective in leadership roles and processes“—has traditionally been the work of corporate development programs for select employees handpicked and cultivated by senior management. With the millennial generation of leaders, however, leadership self-development is becoming far more common.
This note embraces the movement towards leader self-development. It also recognizes that, for it to be successful, those who are now in the driver’s seat—the high-potential and emerging leaders themselves—must be equipped to succeed. The note lays out the PACE Model for leadership self-development, grounded in research, to help developing leaders forge systematic habits to accelerate self-development and success.
