Traits or behaviours: what predicts leader effectiveness
Traits or behaviours: what predicts leader effectiveness — what studies show, and what they don't.
The research
Scott DeRue, Jennifer Nahrgang, Ned Wellman and Stephen Humphrey (2011, Personnel Psychology) find behaviours explain more effectiveness than traits.
The limit
The model combines heterogeneous meta-analyses; causal links are assumed. (our executive and employee training programmes)
