The leaders' personal characteristics were not related to their leadership capability.

However, leadership capability in planning was correlated with the servant leadership dimension of vision. Also, servant leadership style dimensions of love, empowerment, vision, humility, and trust were highly correlated with members' satisfaction with the cooperative services and overall operation. | |
