First, more contact hours used in training content related to
developing personal leadership skills and knowledge leads to improved outcomes for
participants in all six leadership outcome indices in the communities where the programs
were organized. While it is possible to argue that the amount of time, materials
selected for training, delivery method(s), and the use of qualified instructors contributed
to this success, the indicators used to measure the leadership outcome variables such as
personal growth and efficacy also played a part. There may be other factors that cannot
be determined.
Second, more hours spent in training participants to understand community development
processes and group and team processes do not necessarily lead to improvements
for all outcomes of community leadership. These results were not expected because
these topic areas are critical in helping to empower participants and build their capacities
to effectively address issues of community development (Simpson et al., 2003).
This result suggests that it is possible that the amount of time allocated for learning
about community development and group and team work was insufficient and did not
contribute in improving the participants’ knowledge and skills in these areas. Also, to
some extent, it may be that the indicators used to measure the outcome variables, the
materials selected for training, the delivery methods used, and the instructors used did
not fit into the broader objectives of the content related to these areas.
In summary, it is often difficult to determine whether the diversity of content reflects
careful and appropriate tailoring to local circumstances and to the needs of clientele
(including practitioners) or lack of a clear consensus on the most important content for
local leadership programs. One option for determining the appropriate content would be
to query alumni of community leadership education programs. It is possible that the
alumni in the community could be of tremendous support for helping coordinators to
determine relevant topics for future training workshops. Another option is to pay close
attention to individual projects and activities going on in the community and ask those
involved about their felt needs regarding leadership, how to get things done in their
community, and how they could have been more successful. This input could then be
translated into an improved community leadership education curriculum for future
programs. This might improve other content areas such as those related to community,
community development, groups, and teamwork to realize the desired impacts for participants.
