"Evaluating leader effectiveness is complex and often imprecise, requiring consideration of followers and context. Effective leadership is typically a continuum, with most leaders falling into the mediocre range."
"Research indicates that approximately 65-75% of managers exhibit poor leadership qualities. The normal distribution suggests that mediocrity lies in the middle of effective leadership, making it a prevalent phenomenon."
Leader effectiveness is challenging to evaluate accurately. Acknowledging that both followers and context are crucial components in assessing leadership, many leaders are deemed mediocre, reflecting a normal distribution of effectiveness. Research suggests that a significant percentage of managers display poor leadership abilities. As a result, training and development are often recommended to address inadequate leadership skills and enhance overall effectiveness, challenging the perception that leadership quality cannot be improved.
