This study was similar to the third study in that both involved a retrospective review of data based on prior studies and program data.

Additionally, while the second study concerned issues pertaining to the training of medical students in professional teamwork and collaboration skills in the professional medical setting, the third study concerned the manner in which community colleges establish and implement in-house "grow-your-own" staff development programs

The two main components of the study were a comparison of the data obtained from the participants and a more detailed review of an ongoing staff development program at one institution. In general, the researchers concluded that in-house educational leadership training programs are beneficial to the college community because they allow a customized approach to helping newer faculty members best fit into the existing academic and institutional culture; they also provide a valuable means of transferring the knowledge and experience accumulated by veteran retiring faculty members to their newer colleagues. On the other hand, the researchers determined that such processes are heavily laden with inherent biases of the faculty members responsible for creating training programs, they are not typically assessed for effectiveness, and the procedures and methods used reflect convenience considerations...

Most conclusions on this approach were vague or indecisive in terms of social, psychological or mental significance (Rice, 1978, 1981; Graen et al., 1972; Ashour, 1973). Furthermore, over the years, many scholars have come to the realization that leadership is situational and hence there are many realistic settings like the environment, the employees, the resources, etc. that determine the characteristics needed in a leader as well as his/her business approach
