ABSTRACT
An electronic survey was responded to by 233 fellows of the American College of Dentists and by 586 graduates of four dental schools. Rate of involvement and weighted number of leadership positions held gradually increased until about age 45 to 50, then declined more steeply. Leadership potential manifested itself as early as dental school and the characteristics most associated with leadership were professionalism and a strong ethic, while available time and personal sacrifice were not regarded as great drawbacks.
