Exploring The Relationship Between Learning And Leadership, Lillas Brown, Barry Z. Posner
Management & Entrepreneurship
This paper investigates how two important research streams, namely learning and leadership, might be related with one another. Responses on the learning tactics inventory and leadership practices inventory are compared for a managerial sample (n = 312).
