Abstract:

 Using time-honored studies and current research, this paper presents an alternative conceptualization of the criterion problem in leadership research. This problem is given new emphasis when viewed from a success/failure perspective. The ideological frame of reference that effective leaders are those who, in the short-term, increase, heighten, or attain, who achieve more or better, who foster an influential increment is shown to be both limited as a conceptualization of leader effectiveness and restrictive to progress toward a fuller understanding of the complex leadership process. Suggestions (not necessarily easy or welcome ones, however) for overcoming these problems are proffered.
