A Study Of Leadership As A Function Of The Situation, Kathryne Creighton Bentley

Master's Theses

Frequently, someone has remarked of another, "He is a born leader." Such a statement has been a prevailing sentiment or many past generations rather than a fact supported by established proof. Scientists have long recognized the importance of environment as well as heredity in shaping the individual personality.

Concordia Theological Monthly
