    Dear subject matter expert:

    I am teaching a graduate seminar on leadership this term, and my
    students and I are trying to find out how a variety of key leadership
    dimensions are conceptually related to one another. In order to do
    this, we need the expertise of people who know something about
    management and leadership, and the MG-ED-DV list-serve seems an ideal
    source for such experts.

    Specifically, we would like you to judge the relevance of each of a
    number of distinct leadership and managerial competencies in describing
    a single type of leadership as defined in the literature (we provide the
    definition). We have identified 27 leadership dimensions and you will
    be asked to make judgments with respect to only one of those dimensions
    (randomly assigned). We will also ask you to describe your background
    (e.g., age, sex, education, primary work setting) so that we can
    properly describe our pool of experts. You can expect to take about 15
    minutes to complete the ratings.

    Once we have sufficient numbers of judges per version of the task (we�re
    aiming for 10 per version), we will be able to identify overlaps and
    distinctions among dimensions in terms of a common set of competencies.
    To our knowledge, no one has taken this particular �content mapping�
    approach before and we are eager to see what comes of it.

    If you accept our invitation, simply click on the link below and you
    will be connected to one of the 27 versions of the task we have
    prepared. Your participation, of course, is voluntary and nothing bad
    will happen to you if you choose not to participate. If you do decide
    to participate, we would be happy to send you a summary of what we find,
    probably toward the end of May.

    If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about our study, I may
    be reached at robert-tett@utulsa.edu. Thanks.

    Hi Robert, my research area is cross-cultural
    leadership and management. Taking a very quick glance
    at your survey (I'm between classes for a moment), it
    looks more like a study of supervision practices, and
    seems related to the Ohio State LBDQ XII instrument.
    Can you give us a brief description and perhaps a
    reference or two on your theory?

    More later.

    Regards,
    Romie
