In their focal article, Reynolds, McCauley, Tsacoumis, and the Jeanneret Symposium Participants (2018) stress the importance of context in leadership assessment. For instance, they argue that senior executives work in a different context compared to lower-level managers and that this should be taken into account. A simple example is that the competency of strategic thinking is critical for executive performance but much less so, if at all, for front-line supervisors. The claim that context matters in leadership and in the assessment of leaders is easy to grasp but difficult to apply in practice.

一种在领导者评估中获取背景的方法：“太少/太多”评级量表

Reynolds、McCauley、Tsacoumis 和 Jeanneret Symposium Participants (2018) 在他们的焦点文章中强调了背景在领导力评估中的重要性。例如，他们认为高级管理人员的工作环境与较低级别的管理人员不同，应该考虑到这一点。一个简单的例子是，战略思维能力对执行绩效至关重要，但对一线主管而言则要少得多。环境在领导力和对领导者的评估中很重要的说法很容易理解，但很难在实践中应用。
