Abstract:

One hundred thirty-two working adults from a variety of organizations in South Texas, ranging from

Fortune 500 companies to small businesses, completed the NEO-PI Big Five personality assessment, and

the Project GLOBE Leadership Questionnaire. The Project GLOBE Leadership Questionnaire asks

participants to answer 112 questions regarding behaviors that contribute to, or inhibit, the general idea

of outstanding leadership. These questions can be scored as 21 dimensions of leadership. This study

found that participant personality predicted 13 of the 21 dimensions of leadership. The Big Five

personality trait of agreeableness was the most consistent predictor of attitudes concerning leadership.
