From the author: Leadership is an ill-defined complex construct, difficult if not impossible to measure in assessment centers. Current research is cited to support this view. Using work samples and measuring how well the work is accomplished is suggested as a way to avoid the problems associated with assessment of leadership and other constructs. The proposed process gets directly to the candidate's job qualifications. It avoids the problems of construct validation and classification of behaviors into interrelated and complex constructs such as leadership.
