Ohio State Leadership Studies
• Consideration is the extent to which a leader shows concern
for the welfare of the member of the group.
• This factor is oriented towards interpersonal relationship,
mutual respect and friendly.
Example : Zeti Akhtar Aziz defines that a good leadership
must not only have good values, but need to have awesome
behavior.
• Good leader should not have ego-driven behavior but to be
friendly and approachable like stated in the Ohio Leadership
Style.
• Builds trust and fortifies relationship by possessing the
graciousness value in leadership style.
• Good leaders must be confident and should have clarity on
their values for the welfare of the team members of the
group.

good leader in conduct of her organizations. Nowadays, we
can see that she still remains as a Governor’s of Central
Bank of Malaysia after about 10’s years. To be a good leader
is not easy as we thought, needs many skills or knowledge to
succeed. She also have many working experience before
she got what she have now. Based on her style of
leadership, we noticed that she is using the Ohio Studies of
theories. She is using this theories to make effectiveness in
her organizations. Last but not least, power also influence in
her style of leadership. She use the right type of power to
coercive or communicate with all her staffs. Hence, all of this
shows that she is one of a best leader in Malaysia also a
