Learning to Lead: The Art of Transforming Managers into Leaders
by Jay A. Conger (Jossey-Bass Publishers, San Francisco, 1992).
The author offers personal insights into the role training plays in
leadership development based on experiences in five popular leadership
programs. The strengths and weaknesses of four approaches to leadership
development are discussed: personal growth, conceptual analysis, feedback
and skill development.
There are about fifty more references to leadership at the web site below.

P.S.
I took one of the CCL courses, called "Looking Glass." I found that the
greatest benefit was the opportunity to do something that had a good
chance of failure. In fact, I did fail. I performed below the average
expectations. But in that failure, I learned that I loved my work, but
that I was afraid to go beyond the limited expectations my boss [in this
case the exercise scenario] set for me.
Thanks again,
Stuart Harrow
