Abstract
Graduates of the college are expected to have the skills needed to enter the workforce including leadership competencies. The purpose of this mixed methods case study was to identify leadership development influences and assess the leadership needs of undergraduate student leaders (n = 17) in the [college] at the [university]. We conducted the research through in-person, semi-structured interviews. We utilized a concurrent, sequential, multi-phase mixed methods design with a qualitative priority. In phase one, we open coded transcriptions and used an iterative process to find emerging themes. Results revealed four themes: engaged leadership, leadership experiences, group dynamics, and resources. In phase two, we employed a cross case comparison to explore similarities and differences across emergent themes related to leadership identity. it was evident that differing hierarchical and relational views of leadership existed based upon leadership identities.
