An Investigation of CEOs' Learning Experiences: Implications for Leadership Training

This study explored the learning experiences of CEOs in organizations for profit throughout the United States. Malcolm Knowles theory of Andragogy was used as the framework of the inquiry. While the CEO' position is considered unique from other executive positions, it has not been the focus of many studies. The findings suggest how CEOs learn and how the implications of this research can be used to improve leadership development programs in HRD. [For complete proceedings, see ED491481.]
