Hello: You are invited to participate in my EDL dissertation survey which looks at the relationship between leadership types, motivating factors and the success of an organization. This survey is aimed at any person who is, or has, held any management or leadership position within the broadcast industry. This survey will ask you a number of questions about the company that you work for and your personal leadership style. It will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete the questionnaire.

However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point.
