Social movement leaders act and make decisions on behalf of the movements they represent and therefore wield influence on the movement's trajectory. In this light, early scholarship addressed how leaders' personal qualities affect the character and actions of their movements. Mills notably identified union leader characteristics as telling of the distinctions between the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations. Stepan‐Norris and Zeitlin extended this line of research by documenting the differential success of communist and noncommunist leaders in collective bargaining accomplishments, union democracy, and attention to minority and women's rights. Similarly, Ganz partially credited the successful unionization of California's farm workers (1960s–1970s) to the personal biographies, networks, and repertoires of leaders in the United Farm Workers
