Male and female respondents (N=40 and 34) gave critical incidents of good and bad leadership, then rated the leaders involved on scales of seven qualities: Compliance, Directiveness, involvement, Perceptiveness, Rewardingness, Time Orientation, and Trustworthiness. Incidents were content analyzed and compared with the ratings by the good vs. bad distinction and by whether the leader was appointed or not. Consistent differences between good and bad leadership were found for both measures. Most notable was the significant differentiation of appointed and non-appointed leaders in the bad, but not the good, leadership condition.
