Abstract
This study examined the leadership attributes needed by presidents in South Carolina’s Technical College System, or those desiring to hold such a position in the future. The participants consisted of 16 presidents and 80 subordinates that were selected by the presidents and data collected by survey instrumentation. Based upon the 37 attributes as defined by Moss et al (1994) in the Leadership Attribute Inventory, each participant was requested to identify and rank attributes needed for future leadership in their institution. The study indicates the findings of the surveys and provides the leadership attributes of college presidents that are common between the presidents and subordinate observers, which are perceived to be needed in the future leadership of each institution.
