Taking the outsider route to learning: Peer coaching and leadership development

Abstract

Findings

When it comes to identifying key factors to organizational success, leadership is invariably uppermost in many minds. It is thus hardly surprising that firms afford leadership development as the top priority. Expert in the field Morgan McCall perfectly articulated its importance when commenting on the imprudence of leaving leadership development to chance. Leadership development comes in an array of shapes and sizes. Mentoring, action learning, case studies, job assignments and experiential learning are just some of the methodologies commonly utilized. Transfer of knowledge, team building, raising self-awareness and increasing the ability to interact with others are core objectives typically pursued.
