Relational Qualities of Leadership Style.

Abstract

This project aimed at clarifying leadership style with respect to qualities affecting leader-follower relationships and making for effective or ineffective leadership. Three distinct tasks were completed: first, pertinent work was reviewed and evaluated from the literature on social exchange processes, leadership legitimacy, and the comparison of women and men as leaders; second, a set of experiments was done varying the leader's source of authority and the group's success or failure; third, critical incidents and ratings of good and bad leadership were secured and compared from managers in three field settings.
