Leadeship and Research
Introduction: competencies 4A,B & C
I believe that this group of competencies represent the technical step towards the dissertation of the leadership program at Andrews University. Not only because it needs to include qualitative and quantitative, but this skill is often required when engaging in organizational development, assessment and evaluation, and other leadership assignments. Besides that, they are an essential skill that the leaders should have.
What is it for?
Leadership and research focus “on the need to use data to communicate, persuade, and make decisions, and to contribute to the knowledge base for leadership organizational aspects of leadership” (Leadership Handbook, 2011-12, p. 69).
4A-Reading and Evaluating Research,
4B-Conducting Research, and
4C-Reporting and Implementing Research.
