My Story

STATE vs. TRAIT

Traits Trait-Like State p p p Intelligence Big 5 Locus of Control Proactive Personality Core Self Concept Narcissism p p p Self Awareness Ethical Efficacy Psychological Capital Transparency Ownership Courage

BORN vs. MADE

The Leadership Development Equation Shared= Parents, home, siblings, income level, etc. Unshared= Leader roles, mentors, work events, training, etc LD= G + S + PC + DC LD = Genetics (Ability/Personality) + States (Psy. Cap/Ownership) + Proximal Unshared (Work, Education, Moments, etc/) + Distal Shared(Generation Moments, National Culture)

Genetics Life Events + Genetics=45% of Variance in Leadership Made, 68 -70% Born, 30 -32% For Men & Women About 30% is Heritable

Made (Parents/Events)* -. 15** Modest Rule Breaking Authoritative Parenting . 36** Leadership Emergence . 22** -. 19** * Controlling for genetics Serious Rule Breaking -. 28**

Return on Development

R. O. D. Leadership Training Cost: In U. S. last year 14. 1 Billion Formula: ROD = NTd. SDy-C N = Participants T = Expected duration of change in leadership (converted to fraction in years) d = effect size of intervention SDy = standard deviation of dollar valued job performance among untrained employees. C = total cost of training the expected number of participants

R. O. D. Key Findings: • Positive return from 5% to over 200% • Range differs for middle to senior level • Quality and length of the intervention • ROD for hi-po candidates can be up to 8 X higher Validate!

What We Need to Know How much _________________ your ‘choice’ of followers/peers matters developmentally ready context matters genetics and context interacting matters the proximal and distal context matters timing of events matters mistakes matters success matters early interventions matters
