In organizational research, studying "processes" is important for uncovering and understanding the underlying causal mechanisms in a predictor-mediator-outcome logic. Processes answer "how" and "why" questions and provide more complete explanations about phenomena. Our focus in this review is on studies of leadership processes, which we systematically analyze to report on the state-of-the science. In doing so, we present a two-dimensional target-centric taxonomy to integrate previous research: The taxonomy distinguishes the target's level (i.e., individual follower, team, organizational, and extra-organizational) as well as the type of leadership processes that affect either the target's development or leverage of resources. Our review indicates that the predominantly studied leadership "meta" process model looks at the effect of leader traits or behaviors on performance-related outcomes through cognitive, affective, or behavioral leveraging factors. This "meta" model points to several important and understudied processes including a leader's influence on the target's development or work context. We also identify two largely overlooked yet critical issues for leadership process research: Modeling the role of time and that of multiple processes through which leadership effects manifest themselves in organizations. Using our taxonomy, we provide several reflection points that can guide the development of genuine and thoughtful leadership process theories. We conclude by urging future leadership process research to embrace multi-process, multi-level, and time-sensitive models.

“…It was confirmed that decision-making skills and communication skills led to the development of leadership skills and attributes. This study found that leadership was viewed as a particular important aspect in career success as it contributed to the overall success and condition of the http://www.sajip.co.za Open Access group motivation and commitment as well as on an individual level where Operational Forces soldiers view their seniors as mentors and symbols of what they aspire to (Zaccaro et al, 2015). Finally, and in line with previous research, the data from this research confirmed the critical importance of physical fitness as a critical skill required for success in the Operational Forces environment (Solberg et al, 2015).…”

Orientation: A career within the South African Operational Forces is physically, mentally and emotionally challenging. It is a diverse working environment with its own organisational culture and unique challenges.Research purpose: The aim of the study was to explore the perceptions of Operational Forces soldiers regarding the unique requirements that facilitated their career success.Motivation for the study: A low percentage of candidates successfully complete the Operational Forces training. The financial implications of training candidates make it important to be able to identify candidates who have the potential to be successful, early on in the process.Research design, approach and method: Data were collected through a self-administered qualitative survey (n = 98). All participants were permanent Operational Forces soldiers with varying ranks and years of experience. The data were thematically analysed in order to identify themes and specific attributes and skills associated with a successful career in the Operational Forces.Main findings: A number of themes emerged from the data, each of which contributed to our understanding of the research question. The themes included self-concept, personality, interests, cognitive and physical factors.Practical and managerial implications: The research findings may help to inform decisions about approaches, practices and methodologies of the South African Operational Forces recruitment and selection process. Results also provide military organisations with the key characteristics to consider when identifying candidates with the highest potential for successful careers.Contribution and value-add: The study extends previous career success research by contributing an additional base of information regarding career success and factors that are perceived to influence it.

“…These findings broach the question as to whether creative thinking skills can be developed. A recent study by (Zaccaro et al, 2015) found that creative thinking skills predict leader performance, but that skill assessment should be within the performance domain. Another supporting analysis by (Scott et al, 2005) also indicated that educational programs are formulated to develop creative thinking skills.…”

Over the years, leaders affect followers' success and inspiration. Up to this point, research has concentrated on leader characteristics, attitudes, or followers' self-concepts and the related consequences. Dynamic leadership attracts attention because it leads to promoting future business leadership. This study aims to analyze the influencing factors of business leadership. This study proposes the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process Method (FAHP) to achieve a systematic weighting of critical factors affecting business leadership to overcome human expectations' vagueness. Group of critical criteria basing on experts' opinions are identified: Creative Thinking (A), Cause-Effect Analysis (B), Forecasting (C), Planning (D), Visioning (E), Problem Defining (F), Idea Evaluation (G), Wisdom (H), and Constraint Analysis (I). The results revealed that Visioning (E) is the most critical skill at a weight of 0.138, Forecasting (C) is the second position and Creative Thinking (A) is placed third with the weight of 0.126. The remaining skills' rankings are Cause-Effect Analysis (B) > Planning (D)> Idea Evaluation (G) >Wisdom (H) Constraint Analysis (I)> Problem Defining(F), respectively. The implications of findings bearing on leader thinking skills for leader assessment and leader development are considered. Finally, sensitivity analysis is conducted to verify the robustness of the results.
