History is filled with examples of great leaders such as Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Bill Gates. These leaders likely possessed some of the leadership traits discussed in this chapter, and they probably used a situational approach to lead their followers.

Go to the Internet home page for Leadership Values ( www.leader-values.com ), and select the subheading "4 E's." Click on "4 E's Summary".
