Book Chapter Description:
The purpose of collegiate leadership competition (CLC) is to create a practice field for leadership learning and education by incorporating the fundamentals of deliberate practice as a theoretical base. Our work is grounded in two assumptions. First, that students engaging in deliberate practice (Ericsson et al., 1993; Ericsson and Pool, 2016) will greatly accelerate their learning, both in and out of the classroom. A second assumption is that students like to compete, and competition can serve as another high-impact educational practice (Kuh, 2008). These two fundamental assumptions set apart CLC from other leadership learning opportunities.
