- What is effective leadership?
- What drives leadership effectiveness?
- What are the different styles of leadership? Is one more effective than the others?
- What is organizational commitment?
- What drives employees' loyalty to an organization?
- Does leadership style drive commitment to an organization?
- Which leadership style is the most effective in driving organizational commitment?
