  and the main office in peace

• Safe
• Conservative
• Predictable

6
Internals vs. Externals(locus of control)

• Surroundings controlled by fate or others
• More likely to use threats and coercion.

• Feel in control of surroundings
• Perform better under stress
• Use good motivation techniques

7
Hypothesis

• That leadership is discouraged in our Society,
  both in politics and in business.
• Leaders must either forsake leadership qualities,
  or find a subculture that encourages them.

8
The Experiment

• Longitudinal study of the graduates of 25 random
  collages
• Randomly pick a group of 40 people from each
  school for the study for a total of 1000
  graduates
• For 40 years, every 5 years we will contact the
  graduates
• They will be contacted over the phone and
  surveyed
• Each graduate will receive a score from 0 to 10
  on leadership and management skills
• They will be asked what their rolls at work and
  in the community are
• Businessmen will be asked how many people report
  directly or indirectly to them to determine their
  level of influence
• Politicians will be asked how many citizens are
  in their area and how many other people hold the
  same position as they do in their same area
• Due to the different nature of politics and
  business, the two will not be compared against
  each other.

Predictions

• Leadership score will be inversely related to the
  graduates' level of influence
• Management score will be directly related to
  their level of influence
• Management scores of all graduates will go up in
  time, and the leadership scores of all graduates
  will go down on average. 
• A small contingent of graduates who will improve
  in their leadership skills as well as in their
  management skills, and that these graduates will
  be found starting new businesses or on the school
  board of small communities where they are well
  known.

10
Reasoning

• Leaders will be forced to stop being leaders
• If not, they will not be given positions of power
• Leaders will not be satisfied with these
  positions and will start their own companies or
  go to a small organization
