Description
Summary:In this presentation, 2 studies are cited in which LEADER MATCH, a self-programmed leadership training manual, was used with student military leaders. Subjects attempted to manipulate their own leadership situation based on the prescribed contingency model match between their leadership style and the favorableness of their situation. The rated performance of the experimental subjects was compared to the performance of control subjects. The results demonstrated that leders who used the manual, when compared with the matched controls, were rated significantly higher than their contemporaries in comparative performance ratings. Analysis of individual strategies provides for comments on the effectiveness, limitations, and utility of the programmed leadership training test.
