Document Summary
Many people are less defensive about specific behaviors than they are about their personalities or intelligence. Leadership behaviors are a function of intelligence, personality traits, emotional intelligence, values, attitudes, interests, knowledge and experience. Leader behavior description questionnaire (lbdq) - 150 statements that were used to develop a questionnaire. Subordinates were asked to rate the extent to which their leader performed behaviors. Statistical pattern of responses to all the different items indicated that leaders could be described in terms of two independent dimensions of behavior: Consideration - how friendly and supportive a leader is toward subordinates. Initiating structure - how much a leader emphasizes meeting work goals and accomplishing tasks. Supervisory descriptive behavior questionnaire (sbdq) - measured the extent to which leaders in industrial settings exhibited consideration and initiating structure behaviors. Leadership opinion questionnaire (loq) - asked leaders to indicate the extent to which they believed different consideration and initiating behaviors were important to leadership success.
