Abstract

The style of leadership on chief programmer teams was inferred from student peer evaluations, using a sample of 87 teams over a seven-year period. The strongest correlations with team success resulted from diligent attention (or lack thereof) to the duties of the Chief Programmer, Backup, and Librarian, rather than from leadership personality factors.
