Abstract
In reviewing his involvement in leadership research, Rensis Likert discusses early influences on his thinking, the university-connected Institute for Social Research and the criteria on which it was based, as well as the first leadership and management studies of the Survey Research Center. Likert's System 1-4 theory was derived from research data about high-producing managers and how they differ from low-producing managers. Later research demonstrated the real need to use the Current Value approach of Human Resources Accounting to assess the leadership behavior of managers accurately.Keywords
