Keywords:
leadership competencies, sustainable leadership, sustainabilityAbstract
The purpose of the paper is to diagnoze the leadership competencies of Polish managers in relation to those considered desirable in sustainability-oriented managers in the literature. Based on a review of the literature, a list of selected leadership competencies of sustainability-oriented managers was constructed, including action orientation, openness to change and novelty, creativity, inclusiveness, attention to employee development and well-being, and building good relationships and cooperation. On a sample of 263 Polish managers, using confirmatory factor analysis (SEM CFA), the leadership competencies currently held by Polish managers in the context of sustainable development were empirically verified. The research confirmed the importance of the leadership competencies adopted in the model. They demonstrated the advisability of treating comprehensively three of their dimensions: orientation to action and change, attention to well-being and relationships, and inclusiveness.
