This study aims to explore the leadership competencies requried by the 4th industrial revolution era. The existing leadership theories were reviewed to derive the leadership competencies. Based on the category of Dinh et al. (2014) sixteen competencies were derived from traditional leadership theories, and seventeen competencies were drawn from emerging leadership theories. Professors, HR managers, and business consultants responded to the importance of leadership competencies. The results showed that the importance came in order of environmental sensitivity, inspirational motivation, strategic vision, intuition, relationship orientation, and risk taking among the competencies of traditional leadership theories. In terms of emerging leadership theories, strategic thinking and issue creation were perceived as the highest priority, followed by uncertainty management, empowerment, consilience, and human dignity. Dividing these results into academia (n=23) and industry(n=52), there was no difference in the importance of the leadership competencies derived from traditional leadership theories. On the contrary, there was a difference in emerging leadership theories. Creativity and human dignity became more important in academia, whereas issue creation and empathy were thought of more critical in industrial sector. Based on the results of study, theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
