Abstract
The effects of leadership on organizational performance were investigated in a longitudinal study. Effective leadership was found to be associated with improved organizational performance. Furthermore, these leaders were effective in more than a single organizational unit. Succession in and of itself was not related either to performance disruption or to improved performance.Keywords
