Abstract
There are many methods and theoretical frameworks used to predict leader performance, yet little is known about how these methods compare with one another. This study investigates and compares the predictive abilities of Big Five personality characteristics and Leadership Developmental Levels (constructive/developmental theory) in a model of leader performance. Leadership Developmental Level was found to predict leader performance and was also found to account for a unique component of the variance in leader performance, even above and beyond that which can be accounted for by personality.
