From the paper:

"In this society, leadership is dispersed through out all segments of the society government, business, organized labor, professions, the minority communities, the universities, social agencies, and so on. Most leadership today is an attempt to accomplish purpose through large, intricately organized systems. Individuals in all segments and at all levels must be prepared to exercise leadership taking initiatives and responsibility using their knowledge to solve problems at their level. (R.G. Lord, 1991)."
