Strengths of Skill Approach

Northouse (2007, p. 4-55) highlights the strengths of the skill approach as follows:

  • This is a first approach to conceptualize and create a structure of the process of leadership around skills
  • Describing leadership in terms of skills makes leadership available to everyone
  • Provides an expansive view of leadership that incorporates wide variety of components (i.e., problem-solving skills, social judgment skills)
  • Provides a structure consistent with leadership education programs.
