WoS Article

The aim of this study is to describe the significance of leadership competencies in the companies „operating“ in the international environment. We surveyed 96 manufacturing companies to obtain questionnaire responds from 54 South Moravian international manufacturing companies’ CEOs. The total of 25 questions, mapped 5 groups of interest in the field of technical (professionally expert), strategic, personality, social and intercultural competencies level perception of company CEO. Every question was rated from 1 – 5, when as higher value than higher frequency and perception of importance of the competence was assumed. This research approach is based on five-factor leadership model, nevertheless the attention is focused only at factor defined as individual competence. Therefore, as well other factors can affected the overall leadership effectiveness. There had been identified competencies, which are the most frequently used and those, which are perceived as the most important to adopt for managers who wish to be perceived as a leader. Among the three most important competencies there were identified the ability to make decisions, ability to negotiate, and ability to organize the work of subordinates. Thanks to the understanding which competencies are key to leadership, we are able to use these results in HR management. The clear practice implication is to create a competency model that can be used as a beneficial tool for recruiting and leadership development.
