In my HOD 2700 class we focus on how to improve our leadership skills, and one of the main ways we discussed was finding a "feedback buddy" to assess our progress throughout the semester. Without the constant reminder from a "coach" or "feedback buddy" it is difficult to stay on track to improving your leadership capablities. Essentially the idea of having someone constantly give you feedback, and knowing that you will be held accountable (the Hawthorne Effect), is an excellent way to actually make lasting improvements.
