Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary. Students who answer born should use the trait definition of leadership and identify traits such as intelligence and height and dominance. Answers could include information from Chapter 2 about the intuitive appeal of being able to identify a leader by his or her traits, which makes followers want to follow. Students who answer made should discuss the influence and interactive nature of the definition of leadership. They could include that leaders develop over time as they interact with followers and learn how to interact with others as they gain experience. They might include information from Chapter 3 in their answers as well.
