“…Also, Bono and Judge (2004) relied upon peer and subordinate ratings of leadership style, which may be more influenced by extrovert qualities such as warmth, sociability and assertiveness. In contrast, in the present study ratings of leadership performance were made by supervisors (including cadet supervisors), and focused explicitly on a range of relevant leadership behaviors (Schwager and Evans, 1996). For the remaining Big Five factors, Bono and Judge (2004) found significant but low correlations with transformational leadership, leading them to conclude that although "the Big Five can be a useful framework for cumulating research results, it appears that more narrow or specific traits may be relevant in predicting and understanding transformational and transactional leadership" (p. 908).…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the influence of psychological hardiness, social judgment, and "Big Five" personality dimensions on leader performance in US military academy cadets at West Point. Design/methodology/approach-Army cadets were studied in two different organizational contexts, i.e. summer field training and during academic semesters. Leader performance was measured with leadership grades (supervisor ratings) aggregated over four years at West Point. Findings-After controlling for general intellectual abilities, hierarchical regression results showed leader performance in the summer field training environment is predicted by Big Five extroversion, and hardiness, and a trend for social judgment. During the academic period context, leader performance is predicted by mental abilities, Big Five conscientiousness, and hardiness, with a trend for social judgment. Research limitations/implications-Results confirm the importance of psychological hardiness, extroversion, and conscientiousness as factors influencing leader effectiveness, and suggest that social judgment aspects of emotional intelligence can also be important. These results also show that different Big Five personality factors may influence leadership in different organizational contexts. Practical implications-The study identifies personality factors related to leader performance in different types of work environments or contexts. Results can be used to improve leader selection and development programs. Originality/value-This is the first study to examine the influence of psychological hardiness together with Big Five personality factors on leader performance. It identifies hardiness as an important predictor of leadership, while also showing that organizational context makes a difference for what Big Five personality factors influence leader performance: extroversion appears to be more influential in highly social and active work environments, whereas conscientiousness has greater salience in academic and business settings.

This investigation examined leader creativity, broadly conceptualized as a confluence of personal attributes, as a predictor of leading change in organizations. Because organizational change occurs primarily in the social system in support of the technical system, the role of social-emotional competency was also examined. Two correlational studies were conducted in samples of U.S. Army officers. As predicted, leader creativity was a significant predictor of leading change. Creativity measures explained 42% of the variance in leading change performance measures in novice officers and 71% of the variance in early-to mid-career officers. Social-emotional competency was also a significant predictor of leading change, but less than creativity."The art of the creative leader is the art of institution-building, the reworking of human and technological materials to fashion an organization that embodies new and enduring values" (Selznick, 1957, pp. 152-153).

“…Cadet leaders are required to complete CPRs on those in subordinate duty positions. Peer and subordinate raters, on the other hand, nominate and rate the cadets having the highest and lowest performance relative to others in a particular group (for details, see Schwager & Evans, 1996). Academic instructors follow similar procedures, by nominating and rating the highest and lowest performers enrolled in their courses.…”
