Cevaplar araştırmacılar tarafından içerik analizine tabi tutularak 183 başlık altında kodlanmıştır. Her iki liderlik türü için de ortak olarak en fazla söylenen özellikler arasında adil, çalışkan, dürüst, güvenilir, hitabet yeteneği olan, ileri görüşlü, ikna edici, kültürlü, zeki gibi karakteristikler vardır. Yönetici liderler için, kadınlar yenilikçi, erkekler ise disiplinli olma özelliğini; daha genç olanlar hoşgörülü-anlayışlı, ileri görüşlü ve zeki olma, daha yaşlı olanlarsa demokratik olma özelliğini daha çok vurgulamışlardır. Siyasi liderlik için, kadınlar iyi eğitimli, erkekler dürüst ve halkla iç içe olma özelliklerini; daha yaşlı olanlarsa adil, dürüst ve ailesine bağlı olma özelliklerini daha fazla söylemişlerdir.

With the help of cognitive structures named �implicit leadership theories� people categorize others as leaders or not. The aim of this study is to investigate the implicit leadership theories about business and political leaders, to determine the differences between them and investigate them according to some variables. The sample of the study is composed of 278 respondents. From the respondents 148 of them were asked the characteristics of business leaders, 130 of them were asked the characteristics of political leaders. After coding procedures, 183 categories were derived. There are common characteristics for both leadership types such as just, hardworking, honest, trustworthy, the art of public speaking, far-sighted, persuasive, cultured, intelligent. For the business leaders, women mentioned openness to change more and men being disciplined; younger respondents expected them to be tolerant, far-sighted and intelligent, older ones emphasized being democratic.
