Scholars and practitioners agree that effective leadership and diversity management in today’s complex and ambiguous business environment requires more than learning about and mastering particular sets of behaviors. Rather, effective leadership and diversity management is rooted in being able to lead from one’s true self, as well as being able to effectively apply such complex and multi-faceted self-understandings adaptively to changing demands and circumstances. Whereas scholars have called for innovative developmental approaches—especially in the realm of leadership development and diversity management (e.g., Kark, 2011; Kulik & Roberson, 2008)—empirical work heeding such calls remains scarce (Vogel et al., 2022). By presenting research on the conceptual underpinnings and practical effectiveness of innovative/non-traditional leadership development practices, this presenter symposium aims to broaden the horizon regarding the “how” of learning and development processes. Taken together, the research presented in this symposium aims to expand our current theoretical understanding of how employees, leaders, and organizations can learn about and develop their understanding of important organizational phenomena, such as leadership and diversity management.
