His data led to interesting connections and conclusions about the effect of leadership styles on morale, efficiency, and job satisfaction. In this comprehensive analysis, Johnson presents his own findings. He shows you how these findings fit within contemporary research on the subject and explores the ramifications of different leadership theories.
