This study examined differential effects of various types of individual leadership experiences (e.g., retreats, academic minors) on college students’ capacities for socially responsible leadership using data from 8,961 seniors representing 99 colleges and universities. Participation in individual leadership experiences explained a significant, albeit minimal, portion of the variance in students’ outcome achievement suggesting that the type of leadership program matters much less than the degree to which high impact pedagogical strategies are embedded within it.
