We propose that distinct leadership competencies differ in their development over time. Extending the integrative model of leader development (Day et al., 2009), we further propose that leader identity will form complex relationships with leadership competencies over time. To test these propositions, we use longitudinal data (i.e., 5 months, four measurement points) of the 80 in total high-potential executives in a corporate leadership development program. We find a significant difference in the initial levels and the changes of eight distinct leadership competencies. We also find that leader identity relates to the development of certain - but not all - leadership competencies. Finally, we demonstrate the importance of developing leadership competencies by linking them to career advancement (i.e., job promotion). These findings are discussed in light of their theoretical and practical implications.
我们认为,不同的领导能力在其随时间的发展过程中存在差异。在扩展领导者发展的整合模型(Day等人,2009年)的基础上,我们进一步提出,领导者身份将随着时间的推移与领导能力形成复杂的关系。为了检验这些命题,我们使用了一个企业领导力发展项目中80名高潜力高管的纵向数据(即5个月,四个测量点)。我们发现八种不同的领导能力在初始水平和变化上存在显著差异。我们还发现,领导者身份与某些(但不是所有)领导能力的发展有关。最后,我们通过将领导能力的发展与职业晋升(即职位晋升)联系起来,证明了发展领导能力的重要性。我们将根据这些发现的理论和实践意义进行讨论。
