ABSTRACT
L eadership is a critical concern for organizations. Businesses can thriveor perish largely due to the quality of organizational leadership. Notsurprisingly, organizational psychology places the study of leadership very high on its agenda (e.g., Bass, 1990a; Yukl, 1998)—it is a booming research field that generates an enormous amount of literature spanning the complete range from weighty research tomes to fast-moving self-help books.
