Skillsoft’s white paper explores key leadership theories (trait, behavioral, power and influence, situational, charismatic, and transformational) and outlines Skillsoft’s approach to leadership development. Rather than adhering to a single theory, Skillsoft adopts an evidence-based, competency-driven approach that emphasizes collaborative and collective leadership for the digital age. Drawing from research, including Google’s Project Oxygen, Skillsoft identifies 10 critical competencies—such as coaching, emotional intelligence, diversity, and accountability—designed to enhance leadership effectiveness. These competencies are part of Skillsoft’s broader Leadership Development Program, which includes 30 competencies tailored for dynamic, technology-driven environments.
