Leaders in modern working life are confronted with frequent use of temporary groups. The purpose of this study was to examine possible reasons for swift trust towards leaders in temporary groups. The target group of the study was school employees. An opinion poll was carried out in the occupational group (n = 35) which made it possible to make statistical comparisons. The result showed that the following aspects were important for the development of swift trust in leaders: personal attributes, image related attributes, competence and experience, leadership and also social competence. The result showed that only a few significant differences between subgroups of participants were established. This suggests that the factors which contribute to swift trust in leaders may be generally relevant. However, further research is needed if general conclusions are to be made.
