Just as we recognize that not all on-the-job experiences are equal in their potential for leadership development, we acknowledge that not all leadership qualities are developed equally well through on-the-job experiences. The most important kinds of outcomes from on-the-job experiences for both men and women appear to be growth in personal and interpersonal leadership skills, knowledge, and values. These outcomes most typically include improvement in communication skills (listening, speaking, writing), sensitivity to and respect for others, team building skills, appropriate use of leadership styles, self-confidence, networking, planning, organizing, and decisionmaking. In addition, it was frequently reported that on-the-job experiences further developed administrative/ management knowledge and skills specific to the context, as well as broadened one's perspective about the organization.
