Summary
Leadership development often focuses on “competencies”, the behavioral skills and areas of knowledge needed by a business, while ignoring the role that psychological resources play in leadership. This report shares finding from a recent CCL study on psychological capital within CCL’s Leadership Development Program (LDP)®. LDP was found to positively affect psychological capital. Self-regulation techniques in conjunction with LDP were also examined. This report examines psychological capital, its value as a leadership resource, and the means by which it can enhanced.
