Abstract

A number of methods for examining leadership and leader behavior have been devised. Most of these methods have been tested in a variety of circumstances but have not been applied to the professional Extension worker. However, leader behavior of county Extension agents has been studied as it relates to the concepts of initiating structure and consideration. These concepts and the result of their application are summarized in this article.
