In this grounded theory exploration, leadership capacity was studied descriptively, using surveys and member-check follow-up contact. Our intent was to learn from former student trustees of The Roeper School (a school for the gifted) whether and how the leadership experience impacted them. In addition, we wanted to know whether this impact had effects on their leadership capacity as adults. Ultimately, five theoretical statements were built from the data analysis, which others might find useful to further explore leadership impact and capacity building with gifted and talented individuals.

学生代表对 Roeper 学校董事会的领导影响经验

在这种扎根理论探索中，使用调查和成员检查后续联系对领导能力进行了描述性研究。我们的目的是向 The Roeper School（一所天才学校）的前学生受托人学习领导经验是否以及如何影响他们。此外，我们想知道这种影响是否对他们成年后的领导能力产生影响。最终，根据数据分析构建了五个理论陈述，其他人可能会发现这些陈述有助于进一步探索有天赋和有才华的个人的领导影响和能力建设。
