This article presents a case that in developing leaders, researching the topic of their leading through exploring the inner dimensions of the selves, or their being as leaders, can support both the changing of their meanings and their adoption of more authentic leading practices in the becoming of the outer world. This view is supported by the findings of a study in which participants cooperatively explored their changing meanings and actions as leaders over almost a year. Such inside-out or reflexive research can be developmental and reformist.This article presents a case that in developing leaders, researching the topic of their leading through exploring the inner dimensions of the selves, or their being as leaders, can support both the changing of their meanings and their adoption of more authentic leading practices in the becoming of the outer world.
