What do leaders need to know? What must they do? During this moment of great change, complexity, and conflict facing formal and informal leaders across sectors, it has become increasingly important to understand the competencies associated with effective leadership, and to be able to apply the appropriate methods through which to develop, assess, analyze, and enact these competencies.
Competencies for Effective Leadership: A Framework for Assessment, Education, and Research explores the many ways in which a competency framework can be used within an organizational setting as a model for assessment, education, and research. The Leadership Competency Scorecard, originally developed by Brent Ruben, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Communication and Executive Director of the Rutgers University Center for Organizational Leadership, is examined in-depth throughout this book.
The expert contributors delve into the various ways in which this competency framework has been applied in the design and implementation of leadership development programs. They explore how it can be used as a self-assessment and improvement planning guide for individual coaching consultations, as well as a theoretical foundation for advancing leadership and organizational communication research.
The Leadership Competency Scorecard continues to be extremely useful for the formal and informal leaders of today-and tomorrow. This interdisciplinary study of the model and its conceptual and applied applications are made relevant and accessible for leadership scholars, practitioners, and educators across sectors.

This 11-chapter book offers a framework for effective leadership based on leadership competencies and focusing on Brent Ruben's Leadership Competency Scorecard and the Leadership Competency Scorecard 2.0. Leadership specialists from Rutgers U. and other universities in the US focus on the application of the model within Rutgers U. and discuss its origin, the value of a two-dimensional approach for preparing leaders that emphasizes horizontal and vertical thinking, and key questions and considerations for leadership educators and coaches who use the framework. They provide examples of how it has been used in curricular, co-curricular, and external leadership development programs, including an undergraduate course in leadership in digital contexts, a leadership development program for interdisciplinary doctoral students, and a national fellowship program for young leaders from sub-Saharan Africa, then end with a summary of recently completed doctoral dissertations with extensions and applications to the competency framework, focusing on leadership in higher education in the areas of critical incidents, president-board competencies and competencies for new hires, and the experiences of chief business officers.
