    Robert Liden created an instrument to measure four variables of LMX. The instrument is named the LMX-MDM. In my email conversations with Dr. Liden, he stated that it is in the public domain.

    Hi:

    With respect to leadership, I don't think it is really meaningful to distinguish between skills and behaviors (if the latter are appropriate for the context, as validated by predicting a theoretically useful outcomes, they are skills). Appropriate behaviors for leaders (i.e., skilled performance) are what knowledge is to mechanics (i.e., skilled performance); at the end of the day, the leader must be able to lead and the mechanic must be able to fix the car. Thus, skilled performance is a dependent variable not an independent variable. Defining a construct by its outcome (or using a loaded term like "skilled") leads to a tautology, see:

    MacKenzie, S. B. (2003). The dangers of poor construct conceptualization. Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, 31, 323-326.

    So, a leader will be skilled to the extent that they have the ability to learn (i.e., intelligence) and sufficient experiential knowledge to have learned; they must also demonstrate suitable behavioral repertoires, many of which are caused by natural behavioral tendencies due to personality. That these traits are to a large extent heritable makes them mostly exogenous; thus, their predictive effect on outcomes can be estimated. So, I would focus on traits and behaviors only. The following may help you too regarding trait models and their validities:

    Antonakis, J. (2011). Predictors of leadership: The usual suspects and the suspect traits. In A. Bryman, D. Collinson, K. Grint, B. Jackson, M. Uhl-Bien. Sage Handbook of Leadership (pp. 269-285). Thousand Oaks: Sage Publications.  A preprint is availabe here: http://my.unil.ch/serval/document/BIB_7F550FBC8111.pdf . (if you or others are interested in the final printed version please contact me off-line).

    Best,
    J.
