DEVELOPING MODEL OF LEADERSHIP COMPETENCIES IN THE TEXTILE AND CLOTHING INDUSTRY IN CROATIA

Is the role of the leader becoming less relevant in the modern organization that’s fighting for competitive position in VUCA environment? We do not think so. On contrary, we believe that the role of good leadership is probably more important than ever in history, especially in so called traditional industries. Leaders who inspire others to follow, and who incarnate the desired vision with virtue, are in demand. After transforming to market driven economyCroatian textile and clothing industry lost more than 100.000 jobs mainly because flawed privatization process, incompetent management, unclear ownership structure, short- term political focus, loss of traditional markets and many other reasons. The expected contribution of this paper is in the development of new theoretical insights on different aspects of leadership competencies in transitional economy. Leadership used to be about power, status and position and now it is about skills and knowledge but also experience, set of values, attitude and capabilities. Without defining competencies of modern leader, our ability to define and describe who, what, why and how of leadership is constrained. Competence model described in this paper help us do this.
