Age and leadership effectiveness: from the perceptions of a follower

Article Abstract:

The relationship between age and leadership effectiveness was studied. A sample of employees from 17 organizations was queried regarding the leadership abilities of their immediate supervisors. The study found that, in terms of four leader-oriented behaviors measured (presence, dependability, industriousness, and authoritativeness), age was not a significant factor. The findings show that younger supervisors are more involved in relationship-building activities, while older supervisors tend to be more prescriptive in their management style.
