Six kinds of leadership are identified from three aspects. According to leaders’ attributes, transformational leadership and transactional leadership are added in this model. Five questions about transformational leadership were designed based on the NBPTS standards (NBPTS, 2013). Bass’ theories and Hofstede’s theories about four cultural dimensions were applied to design the five questions about transactional leadership (Bass, & Riggio, 2005; Hofstede, 1994).
