This paper explores the paradoxes and competing values inherent in lea dership behavior. Scales for eight leadership roles are developed, pro viding empirical data about 176 executives. The article contributes to the theoretical understanding of the paradoxes of leadership and intr oduces the concept of behavioral complexity to understand leader behav ior and integrate theoretical findings in the leadership literature.
