Organizations which achieve sustainable growth ascribe their success mainlyrnto their competent leaders who set direction and lead the organizationrntowards it by maximizing the organization's competitive advantage andrnminimizing its risk.rnLeadership is not exclusive club for those who were "born with it" ratherrnleadership is a set of behavioral skills which can be developed. Even thoughrnapproaches to leadership development vary due to the complexity ofrnleadership and particular need assessment, three forms of leadershiprndevelopment: formal training, experience (developmental activities), andrnself-help activities.rnIn Ethiopian context, it seems that organizational leadership development isrnnot in short supply rather it is not supplied at all. Government and nongovernmentrnhigher educational institutions are flourishing; however, none ofrnthem are engaged in organizational leadership development at program levelrnor offers leadership as a course in postgraduate program except InternationalrnLeadership Institute that facilitates Azusa Pacific (California based)rnUniversity 's Masters Degree in Organizational Leadership and offer BachelorrnDegree in Organization Management. With such shortage of qualified humanrnresources in organization leadership, organization success in today'srnturbulent environment is doubtful.rnTo this effect leadership concept is not understood by most organizationrnmembers in Ethiopia. The two main reasons identified for lack of conceptualrnunderstanding in leadership are absence of higher educational institutions onrnleadership and lack of training on leadership . Organization members do notrnrecognize the importance of leadership for their organization's success mainlyrndue to belief that power is more important than effective leadership andrnconsideration of management and leadership as one and the same.rnThe education on leadership offered by Azusa Pacific University's andrnfacilitated by International Leadership Institute is said excellent in terms ofrncourse content, teaching methodology, academic staff capacity, and durationrnof the program . Grading system, follow-up and feedback mechanism, andrnreference materials availability are relatively the weak areas of Ill.rnThe leadership program of Azusa Pacific University is said to be veryrnexpensive and is not adequate to meet the very high demand forrnorganizational leadership development in Ethiopia. The main option cited isrnfor both government and Non-government Higher Educational Institutions tornengage in organizational leadership development.
