  • 626 Accesses

Abstract

By focusing on the exploration of drivers and blockers related to leadership development, our book adds to a growing body of literature that brings the intrapersonal domain to the center stage in developing leaders, grounded on self-awareness. It encapsulates and synthesizes the relevant academic literature; exposes our research in the arena including field research examples and provides leadership development scholars and practitioners with concrete approaches and a tool to actualize the exploration of drivers and blockers. This chapter offers a brief summary of the main contributions to knowledge and discusses the implications for future research and limitations. It also includes an afterword reflection through poetry on drivers and blockers.
