We caution against leadership development activities that may create narrowly-focused leaders. In contrast, we have put forth arguments here for the development of people in leadership positions that are consistent with the ACES model, thereby reinforcing leadership effectiveness in not just the analytical domain, but the conceptual, emotional, and spiritual domains as well. Such leaders are holistic in their leadership approach and are likely to be better suited to the leadership demands of today's evolving business environment.
We have also argued that each of the three contexts of leadership development proposed herein may, to some degree, be relevant to each of the four domains of leadership included in the ACES model. However, formal classroom training would seem to be applied best to the analytic domain. Conceptual and emotional domains are more likely to be developed through job context. A further contribution of this article is to recognize the growing relevance of the spiritual domain of leadership and how it might best be developed by directing our attention to more macro-level, firm infrastructure (including culture, mission, and core values) and related HR strategies or practices (e.g., performance appraisal and multi-source feedback). As a result, we suggest that the general construct of leadership development may need to be reframed as something much larger than discrete formal training programs, thereby embracing the organizational context category for leadership development that we have proposed here.
This last point may be particularly salient given the continuing evolution of HR as a corporate function. Traditionally, the HR function of a firm has stewarded leadership training and development as an area of activity, but such activity has been inconsistently reinforced via other HR practices. Progressively, the HR function in many firms has evolved into a more far-reaching driver of corporate direction and behavior. As the HR function takes on this broader role as a strategic partner, it becomes an asset that offers a source of hard to imitate, competitive advantage (Becker & Gerhart, 1996). As such, traditionally isolated HR practices such as leadership training and development, compensation administration, job analysis and design, and performance management, have become more tightly integrated into a coherent force that collectively can shape employee behavior in conjunction with clearly articulated statements of organizational core values, vision, and mission (Delery & Doty, 1996). In sum, we propose that those firms that have adopted this sort of strategic view of the role of the HR function are more capable of developing the type of holistic leaders described in this article.
