This Professional Development Workshop introduces participants to three distinct approaches to leadership development from three prominent Danish research communities and leadership development providers. The workshop addresses emerging theoretical trends as well as innovative leadership development techniques. Following the introductions, a group of professional moderators will facilitate small-group discussions on these topics using the Agency-Building method—a concept introduced during the presentations. The discussions will culminate in a plenary session, where questions and key themes are returned to the panel for a concluding debate. Participants can engage actively in the small groups or choose to observe. First, Anne Bøllingtoft from Aarhus University will present research and practices on the effectiveness of various leadership styles. Next, Frank Meier (Copenhagen Business School) and Brigid Carroll (University of Auckland Business School) explore critical leadership perspectives that challenge traditional leader-centric approaches, way beyond leaders, emphasizing the practical application of these ideas. Finally, Anders Trillingsgaard from the Danish research-based pragmatist leadership development organization UKON will discuss how leadership development research and training can transform the field by rethinking research-practice partnerships. All presenters actively research leadership development and implement leadership practices within their respective organizations, offering participants a robust blend of theoretical insights and practical applications.
