Kvint, Foreign Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor, Doctor of Economics. The article examines the characteristics required for a strategic leader according to J. Maxwell, P. Hersey and C. Blanchard, D. Goleman, R. Boyatzis, A. McKee and R.K. Greenleaf, and the World Economic Forum.

Critical success factors of Strategic Leadership: A literature review

A strategic leader in an organization plays a crucial role in a dynamic business environment. The paper examines an individual's general characteristics as an effective strategic leader with the support of a comprehensive secondary literature review. Data has been secured from three significant databases, i-e, google scholar, SSCI, and Scopus. Secondary research results indicated that being visionary, the strength to have the strategic and creative mindset and the knowledge to develop and maintain the right social capital, and the inclination to have moral integrity are some of the indispensable elements of effective strategic leaders. Thus, leader succession training and development models must inculcate those abilities, competencies, and characteristics into their top talents to magnify an organization's future performance. Yet, research has been exclusively studying from individual aspects composed of literature studies of business organizations, both public and profit organizations. Therefore, strategic leadership encompassing top management and board of directors' success factors in terms of a team's abilities, knowledge, and skills is still an untapped domain.

Interfaces of Strategic Leaders: A Conceptual Framework, Review, and Research Agenda

Interfaces are of growing importance for theorizing and testing the influence of strategic leaders on firm behavior and actions. But despite their relevance and ubiquity, the lack of a commonly accepted definition and unifying framework has hindered researchers’ ability to take stock, synthesize, and systematize extant knowledge. We first develop an encompassing definition and organizing framework to review 122 prior studies across three decades. We then chart promising directions for future research around three concepts central to the framework and review: (1) Why do interfaces occur? (2) What happens at these interfaces? and (3) What are the impacts of interfaces? Together, the encompassing definition, framework, review, and specific directions for future research provide the much needed platform to agglutinate research and advance strategic leader interfaces as the next frontier of strategic leadership research.
