Monark Leadership Development

This project seeks to enhance the impact of leadership training and development by evaluating the effectiveness of a digital program tailored for early-career leaders. Despite the vital role of leadership training, its success often remains uncertain. This research program, spanning two years, aims to bridge this gap by conducting three studies. Study 1 will validate a 360-degree assessment tool for measuring behavioral change in leadership training, providing a reliable means to gauge improvement. Study 2 assesses the digital training’s effectiveness through quizzes, ensuring its efficacy in enhancing participant learning. Study 3 delves deep into the program’s outcomes, measuring post-training learning, transfer, and results through various participation metrics. By evaluating this digital training initiative over two years, the project aims to provide valuable insights for refining leadership training approaches. The expected outcomes include a detailed Mitacs Final Report, a peer-reviewed journal publication, and a white paper for the partner organization, Monark, to share evidence-backed leadership development strategies with their clients and partners, ultimately enhancing their offerings and strengthening organizational leadership.
