Leader Thinking Skills
This book examines the various thinking skills that leaders may need to find success in contemporary organisations and institutions, covering a wide array of skills that are considered important by key leadership scholars.
Bridging theory and practice, chapters summarise major findings with respect to a particular ability, knowledge, or skill. It provides theoretical frameworks for understanding how these contribute to leader emergence and performance, and considers implications for leader selection, assessment, and development.
The text appraises the existing research on the critical cognitive capabilities that underlie leader problem-solving and looks at the implications for the assessment and development of leadership potential in real-world settings. The role of creative thinking skills in leader performance is also addressed, highlighting the importance of processes such as problem definition and idea generation, as well as using constraints to potentially stimulate creative thought.
With contributions from some of the most eminent scholars working in the field of leadership, Leader Thinking Skills will be an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, graduate students, and professionals interested in leadership and leader skills, I/O psychology, and business management.
