Characteristics Relevant to Performance as an Army Leader: Knowledges, Skills, Abilities, Other Characteristics and Generics Skills

Abstract

This paper reviews the results obtained in attempting to construct a taxonomic system capable of describing individual attributes that influence leadership effectiveness. To identify the knowledges, skills, abilities and other characteristics (KSAOs) as well as the generic skills involved, a literature review was conducted examining studies concerned with relevant problem-solving processes. A general taxonomy of KSAOs capable of influencing leadership effectiveness was constructed which was applicable to both officers and noncommissioned officers.
