The document describes the Full Range Leadership Model, which provides behaviors for effective leadership. These behaviors include inspiring others, acting with integrity, building trust, encouraging innovative thinking, coaching others, rewarding achievement, and monitoring mistakes. The model evaluates leadership effectiveness using the Multi-Factor Leadership Questionnaire. Certain behaviors like fighting fires, avoiding involvement, and not rewarding achievement are ineffective when overused.
