2. What argument did the authors present about leadership?

3. How was the argument supported?

4. Do you agree or disagree that personality is strongly connected to a leader’s style? Why?

5. The study’s findings implied a connection to the type of instrument played and personality, yet not a connection to leadership style. Does this finding surprise you? Explain why or why not.

6. How does this study contribute to new information about leadership?
