Abstract

The ability to measure leadership and managerial competencies objectively is among the foremost requirements of modern organizational selection and development. Judgment of a leader no longer rests on impression or seniority, but on an integrated structure of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral capacities that can be measured. In response to this need, the present battery was designed as a comprehensive Arabic instrument that brings together the cognitive, dispositional, and ethical domains framing successful leadership performance.
