Citations in the corpus

• Situational judgment tests: An overview of current research (2009, methodology): “In another study comparing expert and examinees ratings, they used the Tacit Knowledge for Military Leadership (TKML) scale (Hedlund et al., 2003). The two comparison groups were 50 Lieutenant Colonels (with an average of 18 years' experience) and 355 West Point cadets (with no military experience).”
• A model of educational leadership: Wisdom, intelligence, and creativity, synthesized (2005, background): “Here the emphasis is on practical intelligence (Hedlund et al. 2003, Sternberg et al. 2000, Sternberg and Hedlund 2002), which has a somewhat different focus from emotional intelligence.”
• Cognitive skills and leadership performance: The nine critical skills (2017, background): “Yet another effort pointing to the importance of knowledge in leader performance has been provided by Hedlund et al. (2003).”
• A longitudinal analysis of relationships between adolescent personality and intelligence with adult leader emergence and transformational leadership (2011, background): “…in leadership is fueled by the popularity of multiple forms of intelligence, particularly emotional intelligence (Caruso, Mayer, & Salovey, 2002; Goleman, 1995), social intelligence (Riggio, Murphy, & Pirozzolo, 2002), and practical intelligence (or tacit knowledge; Hedlund et al., 2003).”
• WICS: A Model of Leadership in Organizations (2003, background): “TK scores exhibited trivial and nonsignificant-to-moderate and significant correlations (.02 to .25) with verbal reasoning ability (Hedlund et al., 2003).”
