It also utilizes an applied research approach. Given that it is customized, the respondents were then taken from MKI and from their 84 employees. 30 were randomly selected. The researchers utilized the Training Needs Survey to gather the perceptions of those respondents regarding effective leadership and the qualities of an effective leader. The results shows that effective leadership is defined to be guiding others towards the achievement of a common goal and that qualities congruent to this are the following: being a good role model, having clear set goals, and being a good decision maker. However, the qualities that are present in the leaders of MKI were not the ones included in the top three.
