Hypothesis 4: A transforma fional leadership style positively relates to<br />

recent hours of leadership training.<br />

A Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated examining the<br />

relationship between leadership styles as rated by CEO associates and<br />

the CEOs' self-reporting of leadership training hours in the preceding three<br />

years. Weak and insignificant correlations were found,<br />

(r = .165, -.016, -. 1 88, ~ ~005,) for transformational, transactional, and<br />

passive-avoidant leadership respectively (Table 1 9).<br />

A similar correlation was calculated between CEOs' self-reported<br />

training and their self-reported leadership style (Table 20). While weak<br />

correlations that were not significant were found for transactional<br />

leadership (r = .077, pz.05) and passive-avoidant leadership
