This PPT slide, part of the 25-slide Leadership Competency Model PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of research findings related to motivational potential and its influence on leadership effectiveness. It begins with a description highlighting that various job effectiveness studies have identified key personality traits such as conscientiousness, drive, and achievement orientation as critical factors associated with successful leadership.
The governing factors section cites studies by Cox & Cooper and Charon & Colvin, emphasizing that determination and achievement orientation are essential differentiators for high-performing individuals, particularly CEOs. The mention of "dutyfulness" or a strong drive to fulfill obligations is noted as a significant factor distinguishing consistently successful managers from their less effective counterparts. This suggests that intrinsic motivation and a sense of responsibility play crucial roles in leadership success.
The slide also outlines personal factors and assessments related to motivational potential. It identifies 3 key dimensions: self-belief, drive, and resilience. Each dimension is associated with specific personal factors that range from slow to fast potential. For instance, self-belief is linked to a tendency to follow, while high drive correlates with striving to excel. Resilience is characterized by emotional stability, which is essential for effective leadership.
The concluding remark indicates that top leaders exhibit stronger tendencies toward achievement striving, activity, and openness compared to other senior managers. This insight underscores the importance of these traits in fostering effective leadership and achieving organizational goals. Overall, the slide serves as a valuable resource for understanding the psychological underpinnings of leadership effectiveness and the traits that drive high performance.
