ABSTRACT

A successful leader should have a firm belief in her or his ability, confidence in her or his philosophy, a strong sense of purpose, and a genuine respect of self. Sound leadership can often be identified by the way the administrator behaves in person-to-person relationships. An effective administrator seeks to integrate the welfare of the organization with the needs of the people. Successful administration is marked by good teamwork, a balance of responsibility and authority, integrity, consideration for others, and satisfaction of the needs for self-realization (Frost et al., 1988).The lead research on emotions was initially

addressed to the study of anxiety and psychological factors inhibiting performance (Hackfort & Spielberger, 1989; Jones & Hardy, 1990).
