Early leadership trait research looked to find characteristics that might ________
A) distinguish ordinary leaders from great leaders
B) define charisma
C) identify the physical traits of leaders
D) differentiate leaders from non-leaders
Answer: D
Explanation: Early leadership studies looked to find the traits that could distinguish leaders from non-leaders. These efforts proved to be largely unsuccessful as leadership seemed to be hard to define precisely and it varied from situation to situation. Early studies were somewhat concerned with finding great leaders or understanding charisma as a basic leadership trait, but these were not primary concerns of early investigators, so they are incorrect responses. Physical traits of leaders were never a concern of early or contemporary leadership scholars, so that choice is incorrect.
