Harold Martin Schroder (February 19, 1923 – December 24, 2013) was professor of psychology at Princeton University who conducted research into the so-called 'High Performance Leadership Competencies'.[1]
Their validation across public and private organisations was carried out by Schroder and his colleagues initially while he was Professor of Management at the University of South Florida[1] and later in American and British corporations, including RBS.[2]
Many leadership development consultancies utilize the so-called 'Schroder framework' he described as an objective measure of leadership behaviour critical for managing complexity and change.[3][4][5]
His book Managerial Competence: The Key to Excellence[6] was featured in Personnel Today's seven must-read books in 2006.[7]
