What is Leader Competence

The changes that have taken place over the last few decades have culminated in the existence of a workforce of different ages and experiences in the organizational context. This diversity of workforce is a challenge for the human resources management not only in the integration processes, but also in the development of competences and in the management of workers' careers. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the leader's competences following a model that integrates a great variety of competences grouped in four dimensions: intellectual competences, social competences, management competences, and emotional competences. The survey results show the validity and reliability of the integrative model of leader competence. With this model, organizations can identify the skills that need to be developed to improve leadership effectiveness.
