Abstract
Leadership development programs (LDPs) are promoted in organisations in the pursuance of
achieving competitive advantage through improved leadership capabilities. Today’s rapidly
changing business environment calls for leadership skills and knowledge that can contribute
towards better business performance (Samson, 2011). Developing leaders at tourism
destinations is a recent phenomenon. Research evaluating LDPs designed and developed for the
growth of an individual, business and tourism destination is in its infancy. This paper reports on
the preliminary findings of a LDP offered to current and future tourism leaders across Victoria,
Australia. The findings can inform the future conduct and development of LDP evaluation
studies in tourism organisations.
