Commentary on “meeting the competency needs of global leaders: A partnership approach”: An executive coach's perspective
指出传统教育培养的基础能力对全球领导者来说不够，人力资源专家与管理教育者应合作，通过实地经验识别和培养关键个人特质（尤其是品德），并提出了基于能力的发展建议。
Abstract This article concludes that common competencies, the fundamental knowledge and skills developed in traditional educational environments, are necessary but insufficient in the preparation of global leaders. Rather, human resource professionals, in partnership with management educators, are best positioned to identify and facilitate global leadership excellence by focusing on the identification and development of key personal characteristics or distinctive competencies. In particular, global leaders must be men and women of sound character. We further propose that “distinctive competencies” are best assessed through experience in the field. Recommendations are offered as to how competency‐based leadership development can be designed to address both common and distinctive competencies, with special attention to the individual's character. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
