Executive Leadership in a Changing World Order: Requisite Cognitive Skills. The First Literature Review.
Abstract
This document reviews the psychological literature for models and taxonomies of human cognition and examines 20 such models and taxonomies by 18 theorists over a period of 67 yearn, from 1923 through 1989. Researchers concluded that, while a number of the models were of great interest, the scientific community does not have a widely accepted, comprehensive theory of cognition or a general theory of learning that allows generalizations of learning principles to specified complex tasks, nor does it appear to have a consensus on the concept of intelligence. Above and beyond those circumstances, one gets little sense of common purpose guiding the development of the more recently derived models of cognition; the field is more paradigm- than theory-driven. No taxonomy of requisite cognitive skills for executive leadership performance was found.
