| Leadership is an essential trait for organizations seeking to thrive and grow. However, leadership is a general term requiring further differentiation to be properly understood. There are various kinds of leadership. Each is better appreciated when described in terms of the circumstances demanding it and the outcomes required. Thus, one can refer to idea leadership, project leadership, managerial leadership, and executive leadership. Each type of leadership requires different skill sets for success. Some, but not all, individuals may be highly skilled in several dimensions of leadership. This presentation will describe the elements of each type of leadership noted above and typical behaviors associated with them. Thus, properly designed and managed interviews can serve as reliable instruments for assessing leadership potential. Questions often used to probe for leadership qualities will be presented, along with suggestions for designing resumes to highlight individual leadership capabilities.
