The return on school leadership preparation and development programmes

---

Purpose – This paper highlights the potential value of “return on investment” analysis for leadership
development investment methods to better providing research informed decision regarding improving
organisational outcomes.
Design/methodology/approach –Working with published research on leadership dimensions with
greatest impact on student outcomes, return on leadership development formula, and empirical
research on Australian university-based educational leadership programmes, this paper demonstrates
an illustrative example of estimating the return on leadership investment.
Findings – Using an illustrative example of Australian university-based educational leadership
programmes, this paper argues that methodologies for estimating the return on leadership development
offers a powerful tool for making research informed decisions at the individual, organisational and
systemic levels.
Research limitations/implications – This paper provides the basis for substantial further work on
the measures of impact of leadership preparation and development such as matters of duration of
effect, instrumentations of quality, costing and causal models of effect.
Practical implications – The methodology demonstrated in this paper provides a basis for
individuals, organisations and school systems to make decisions regarding the resourcing, or not, of
school leadership preparation and development.
Social implications – The methodology demonstrated in this paper provides a basis for individuals,
organisations and school systems to make decisions regarding the resourcing, or not, of school
leadership preparation and development.
Originality/value – The application of return on investment analysis has been rare in educational
leadership preparation and development programmes and its value opens up information for rigorous
debate on the resourcing, or not, of programmes by systems, government and individuals.
