ABSTRACT

Leadership, as a problem in social psychology,has dealt primarily with two questions, namely, how one becomes a leader, and how one can become a good leader, that is, how one develops effective group performance. Since a number of excellent reviews (e.g., Stogdill, 1948; Gibb, 1954; Mann, 1959; Bass, 1960) have already dealt with the first question we shall not be concerned with it in the present paper.
