THE IDENTIFICATION OF HIDDEN SOCIOMETRIC LEADERS

Abstract

Perhaps the single most important task confronting modern management concerns the identification, selection and training of leaders. Toward this end sundry methodologies, techniques, and instrumentalities have been pressed into service in order to insure the efficient and effective use of these procedures and processes. Thus, education and training and management development departments within companies have been busy working overtime planning and implementing such programs, and outside management consultants and universities likewise have been as assiduous setting up and conducting workshops, seminars, and programs to help meet, fulfill and solve this pressing problem.
