The study sample was 1,440 subordinates who assessed the leader behaviour of 695 branch managers in a large Australian financial organisation. Exploratory and confirma tory factor analysis showed that the GTL measured a single construct of leadership and had satisfactory reliability. Evidence for the convergent and discriminant validity is presented. We conclude that the GTL has a number of potential uses as an assessment and selection tool and in leadership research. The issue of effective leadership in organisations has been raised by Conger and Kanungo (1994) in this journal. Leadership skills are taken into account in the selection, promotion and performance appraisals of employees (Atwater, Penn, & Rucker, 1991; Bass, 1990b; Howell & Hig gins, 1990; Walderman, Bass, & Yammarino, 1993). In recognition of its importance, organisations typically assist and encourage the development of employees' leadership skills. Appraisal, evaluation and the development of leadership skills all require the assessment of leadership behaviour. Although measures of transformational leadership, such as the Multifac tor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ; Avolio, Bass, & Jung, 1995), the Conger-Kanungo scale (Conger & Kanungo, 1994) and the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI; Kouzes & Posner, 1990) assess a range of leader behaviours, these scales are relatively long and therefore time consuming to complete. It was the aim of this study to develop a short, practical instrument of transformational leadership which is easily administered and scored yet is also reliable and valid.
