ABSTRACT
Although every scholar of renown has researched and written on several topics, that scholar is likely to be identified with a singular work. I am personally proud of inspiring and initiating several new lines of research in sport management; yet I am most often identified with the Multidimensional Model of Leadership (MML) that I developed. This is particularly true in the field of sport and exercise psychology more so than in sport management. In fact, several textbooks in sport psychology have included a section on the Multidimensional Model (e.g., Jowett and Lavallee, 2007; LeUnes, 2008; Weinberg and Gould, 2015). Similarly, my Leadership Scale for Sports (LSS), developed in conjunction with the Multidimensional Model, has been quite popular with researchers around the world. Its significance is highlighted by the fact that the 1980 publication detailing the development of the scale (Chelladurai and Saleh, 1980) is included as one of the essential readings in sport psychology twenty-five years later (reprinted as Chelladurai and Saleh, 2007).
