Leadership skills & attitudes perceived by collegiate male students
Leadership skills and attitudes perceived by collegiate male students
The intent of this study was to discover the impact of gender on the success of leadership education. Specifically studied were the self-perceptions of leadership skills and leadership attitude of male collegiate students. Additionally, the effect of previous leadership education and experiences, a course in leadership, and gender make-up of the class were investigated to determine the most appropriate "orientation" for collegiate leadership courses. The purposive sample for this study consisted of male students enrolled in a collegiate academic leadership class. The first part of the study disclosed information concerning all male participants in a leadership class. The second part of the study investigated information concerning the sample of males who participated in the single-gender laboratory setting. Theconclusions of this study found no factor that enhanced group-centered attitude, leader-centered attitude, or Working in Groups. However, it was discovered that the participants' leadership skills perception was stronger following a leadership course. Furthermore, previous leadership experiences and previous leadership education enhanced the skill levels of the participants.
