Description:
The Leadership strataplex model is a multi-level model that includes skill requirements that are layered (strata) and segmented (plex), leading to the name of strataplex (Mumford, Campion, & Morgeson, 2007).
The model consists of the following leadership skill requirements:
- Cognitive skills include the ability to communicate well both verbally and in writing, and the ability to learn and adapt.
- Interpersonal skills involve effective social interactions and the ability to influence others.
- Business skills involved operations analysis and the management of material resources (Mumford et al., 2007).
- Leadership positions at higher levels of the organization required strategic skills that are most important for organizational effectiveness. According to the model, strategic skills are required at a higher level because leaders need to understand the complexity and deal with ambiguity to foster change and innovation.
This model does not define specific competencies, but rather proposes itself as a model to define an organisation-specific competency model for Leadership Development.
