# Harold M. Schroder

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'.

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 and later in American and British corporations, including RBS.

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.

His book Managerial Competence: The Key to Excellence was featured in Personnel Today's seven must-read books in 2006.
