This document contains three papers from a symposium on learning at the top that was conducted as part of a conference on human resource development (HRD). "Learning at the Top: An Investigation of Nonprofit CEOs' (Chief Executive Officers') Learning Experiences" (John J. Sherlock) reports on a study that used Mezirow's theory of adult learning as a framework to study the content and processes of CEOs' learning and yielded evidence that both the content and processes of CEO learning are deeply impacted by the politically charged context in which nonprofit CEOs must perform. "The Awareness and Utilization of Emotional Intelligence in Leadership Development as Perceived by HRD Practitioners in the Kansas City ASTD (American Society of Training and Development) Chapter" (Joseph Nantawut Leeamornsiri, Robert C. Schwindt) summarizes a study of the HRD practitioners' and organizational managers' awareness of emotional intelligence, the perceived benefits of the use of emotional intelligence competencies, and the emphasis put on core emotional intelligence competencies in leadership and management development activities. "Moving HRD beyond 'Paint by Numbers': Aesthetic Epistemology and Arts-Based Learning in Management Education" (Nick Nissley) describes how aesthetic ways of knowing and arts-based learning is informing the practice of management education. All three papers include substantial bibliographies. (MN)
