Abstract
The importance of leadership competencies (roles, values, and skills), as influenced by administrative positions, institutional characteristics, and personal demographics, was examined in this study. In addition, the reported need and support for leadership development activities at selected community colleges were examined. Ninety-eight senior administrators from all 28 of Florida’s community colleges completed a written leadership competencies assessment while 12 also participated in in-depth, semistructured interviews. These administrators serve as their colleges’ chief executive, instructional, business, or student development officers. The results of the study indicate that only the variables of administrative position and age significantly influenced the relative importance of leadership competencies, as reported by senior administrators. Also identified was the significant need for but limited support of leadership development activities and programs.
