Abstract
What could be the main implications based on these interview results about the leadership competence tree and the self-assessment tool for intelligent organizations. First of all, there are three different kinds of profiles, which should be defined in intelligent organizations:
1- Define your organization's leadership competence-profile and assess all your managers regularly using the 360-degree assessment tool.
2- Define also the Iilost important characteristics (traits) of a leader, because this kind of a trait approach can be useful for the leader's personal awareness and development. The trait approach as one narrow perspective to leadership is still valid.
3- Define and publish also the most important values of good leadership.
This way they start to guide leadership behavior in practice.
Second, organize enough high-quality management and leadership training at a right time. Start always this kind of training with self-leadership. The most crucial issue for a leader knows her/him having enough good and healthy self esteem. Training should be company specific and tailored to its business situation. Third, when selecting managers, we should pay special attention to the roots; the being behind the doing. It is rather easy to improve the competencies of managers, but much more •difficult to change their being; things like personal values and principles, vision and objectives, personality, energy and personal awareness. Fourth, offer your best people really challenging situations, crisis situations where they have to act with little competence and earlier experiences. In these situations where they have to put themselves totally into the game, they will learn the most about leadership.
