A psychological analysis of leadership effectiveness

Abstract

Leadership research has been characterized by narrowly focused studies with little integration of findings from the different approaches. This article summarizes a study that attempts to embrace a broader view by examining the relationship between leader traits and leadership behavior to determine leadership effectiveness across different situations. A key take‐away from this analysis is that in order to be effective a leader must be warm, outgoing, kind, and trustworthy.
