We are excited to showcase two current leadership researchers and their findings, one from the United States and the other from Australia. We will discuss the development and key results of the first annual Attitudes about Leadership in the United States survey conducted by Lynn Shollen of Christopher Newport University. This survey examines the public’s attitudes about leaders and leadership, perceptions of influences on leadership at various levels and in different sectors, and factors affecting willingness to follow, among other topics. Also featured will be The Australian Leadership Index with its co-creator, Sam Wilson. This research measures perceptions and expectations of leadership for the greater good in twelve institutions across the government, public and private and non-profit sectors in Australia.
