Trust in leadership is one of the most important characteristics followers look for in leadership. Leadership effectiveness is dependent on the degree in which followers trust the decision the leader is making. This research study explored the characteristics of age, religious affiliation and effective leadership and a high quality relationship of followers and leaders within charter schools in Washtenaw County, Michigan. The results of the study did support some observations made in the literature about high quality leader-follower relationship correlations. However, the study did not find a correlation of significance between religious affiliations and non-religious affiliation. No analysis of age was administered because of lack of data. |
