Evaluating Strategic Leadership based on the Method of Fuzzy Analytic Network Process

We apply the method of Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (ANP-Fuzzy) to evaluate strategic leadership, because its indexes are complex, inter-relationship, and fuzzy. First, construct indexes s ystem of strategic leadership ,which constitutes of personal abilities and organizational abilities. Second, interpret the fitness of ANP-Fuzzy for strategic leadership and the method's implication steps of ANP structure, pairwise comparisons and priority vectors, super matrix formation and transformation, and fuzzy evaluation. Final, design ANP structure of strategic leadership , calculate priorities, and ana lyse empirically strategic leadership of candidates for promotion by fuzzy evaluation. Results show that the method is feasible, because it can get not only the whole status of strategic leadership but also of personal abilities and organizational abilities, which gives significant decision support.
