Leader Attributes and Behaviors Predicting Emergence of Leader Effectiveness.

Abstract

This report examines relationships between the leadership of entering leaders and antecedent measures of personality, ability, temperament, interpersonal style, experience, and physical fitness. The data described a sample of cadets/students over the course of their education and military training at a state military college. The primary purpose was to track longitudinally leader development and emergence and to identity individual characteristics and leadership behaviors that differentiated the leadership position and leadership effectiveness attained by the cadets. Results showed that individual characteristics, with some measured at college entry, predicted position attainment and rated (peer) leadership effectiveness. Results also showed that transformational behavior, as well as transactional leadership behavior, characterized cadets emerging as leaders.
