Purpose of this article

Believing in lifelong learning, I documented the summary of the literature review which I conducted to underpin the learning characteristics of technical leaders in large corporate information technology (IT) organizations.

In this review, my aim is to introduce significant adult learning theories and models as well as their major principles. This piece could be used as reference material by adult educators.

These principles are used to recognize the cognitive patterns of technical leaders whom I surveyed and interviewed both qualitatively and quantitatively for validation of findings.

These theories and models were used to support key ideas and discussions included in the major themes of the research study.

This condensed review of the theories aims to give introductory ideas to human cognitive scientists and leadership learning researchers.
