| Abstract | Changes over time have expanded and improved the services and supports available to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families (Silverstein, 2000). Quality of supports depends largely upon the leadership within an organization. Strong leadership promoting person centered vision and actions, motivates quality supports and interactions between organizations and families (Avolio & Gardner, 2005). This thesis presents an analysis of the relationship between four measures of authentic leadership as well as an analysis of the development in perceptions of leadership for emerging leaders who have participated in a week long intensive training, at the time of the training and several months after. Results indicate that the measures are generally related over time, and that perceptions do increase over the week. Findings and analysis from this study provide suggestions for future researchers to measure aspects of leadership development in the future. | en_US |
