Abstract This article examines career trajectories for participants in the Association of Research Libraries Leadership Fellows Program (ARLLFP). Data from the program’s inception in 2004 through 2019 are examined to determine what path participants careers took during or after their experience in the ARLLFP. Data show that nearly two-thirds of the alumni of the program became library directors or were promoted to another job with additional responsibilities. Breakdowns by gender, geographic base, and length of time from program completion help illuminate nuances and areas of possible concern. While the high number of graduates progressing in their careers suggests success, a broader approach is required to assess fully the program’s value and future. This article lays the foundation for further evaluative research on this and other such leadership development programs.

成功的衡量标准：跟踪领导力计划参与者的职业道路

摘要 本文探讨了研究图书馆协会领导研究员计划 (ARLLFP) 参与者的职业轨迹。该计划从 2004 年到 2019 年启动的数据经过检查，以确定参与者在 ARLLFP 经历期间或之后的职业道路。数据显示，该计划的校友中有近三分之二成为图书馆馆长或被提升到另一份承担额外职责的工作。按性别、地理基础和计划完成时间长度的细分有助于阐明细微差别和可能关注的领域。虽然大量毕业生在他们的职业生涯中取得了成功，但需要更广泛的方法来全面评估该计划的价值和未来。
