Study of executive leadership in business. IV. Sociometric pattern

Abstract

24 executives in a tire and rubber manufacturing company were asked, during a 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hour interview, to name the individuals with whom most time was spent in getting work done. Results are shown in the form of a sociometric diagram, using a concentric organization chart. Correlations are also reported between the number of sociometric "choices" and the executive's score on each of three scales, measuring responsibility, authority, and delegation of authority.
