Thanks for the many responses to my query.
As per James' suggestion I will put together a list of references that
were sent out to me along with my own list of articles, books, etc. that
contain useful information specific to leadership development on outdoor
ed..
I have yet to check out Roger's suggestions but I'm finding that in the
outdoor literature there is a large amount of research that lists
"specific qualities", "components", "competencies" and other similar
criteria. Is there anything which is not quite so mechanistic. I am
familiar with the bricks/morter metaphor and believe it to be a step in
the right direction, yet I am looking for something more complex (perhaps
even more organic). After all, the growth and developemt of outdoor
educators/leaders is more than building a wall.
Once again, thanks all!
Namaste,
Steve
