Organisations competing in Africa face numerous challenges. To successfully address these challenges, entrepreneurial energy, and a strategy to develop leadership skills at scale is required. This study aimed to develop and assess whether a leadership skills development model which integrates six conceptual constructs is valid as a model for develo...

... leadership constructs were conceptualised as choices, principles, mental (cognitive), emotional, physical, and spiritual, which are perceived as humancentric, multidimensional and inherently incorporate the notion of being developmental, that is, they can be developed. Table 1 provides a summary of the six leadership constructs, the associated construct theories, as well as examples of the related leadership skills for development. ...Similar publications
This research departs from the low level of financial literacy among Generation Z today. Based on several preliminary studies that have been conducted previously, it was found that financial literacy in Generation Z is lower than in the millennial generation, which means there is a decline in the ability to manage finances. To prevent further decli...

... Foti and Hauenstein (2007:347) argued that "the person is considered as an integrated totality rather than a summation of variables". Leadership scholars argue that more multifaceted models and approaches are required to advance research involving traits or personal characteristics and their effects on leadership (Bass, 1990;Lord & Hall, 1992;Zaccaro et al. 2013;Muller, 2021;Muller & Pelser, 2022;). Considering the above, the researcher conceptually developed a leadership skills model that encompassed six leadership constructs grounded in academic literature (as shown in Table 2). ...
Purpose of the study: The purpose of the study was to develop and assess whether a leadership skills development model, which integrates six valid conceptual constructs, will develop enhanced leadership skills in an African-based fast-moving consumer goods business network. Design/methodology/approach: The six-construct model is predicated on the literature review, which was empirically tested. Thus, the study selected a pragmatic approach and followed up with an explanatory sequential design typology. Moreover, this study adopted a quantitative, cross-sectional survey research methodology, while an online survey was administered to collect primary data from the Kwaden Group. Inferential statistics were also employed so as to appropriately examine the validity and reliability of the constructs. Finally, a qualitative phenomenological research approach was utilised to collect primary data from key decision-makers within the African fast-moving consumer goods business network via structured face-to-face interviews. Findings: The study provides a theoretically relevant and empirically validated leadership skills development model amendable to an African fast-moving consumer goods business network. Additionally, a confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a good model fit for the leadership skills development model. It was also established that leadership skills development should be multilevel, which infers that participants should have the opportunity to develop multifaceted leadership skills and that such leadership capabilities should be a primary company objective.
