It should be noted that the scope of this study serves as one of the primary limitations.
Although findings were unexpected and significant, the size of the population examined waslimited. To further confirm the findings a more comprehensive examination of ANR opinion
leaders in the United States, and other global locations with similar leadership development
programs, should be conducted. These results should only be used to gain an understanding of the
sample studied and used as a benchmark to inform programs and assist in directing future
research initiatives. On the basis of this study additional conclusions, implications and
recommendations are provided.
