  One of the most robust features of the solar magnetic cycle is that the
stronger cycles rise faster than the weaker ones. This is popularly known as
the Waldmeier Effect, which is known for more than 80 years. This fundamental
feature of the solar cycle has not only practical implications, e,g., in
predicting the solar cycle, but also implications in understanding the solar
dynamo. Here we ask the question whether the Waldmeier Effect exists in other
Sun-like stars. To answer this question, we analyze the Ca \II{} H \& K S-index
from Mount Wilson Observatory for 21 Sun-like G--K stars. We specifically check
two aspects of Waldmeier Effect, namely, WE1: the anti-correlation between the
rise times and the peaks and WE2: the positive correlation between rise rates
and amplitudes. We show that except HD~16160, HD~81809, HD~155886 and
HD~161239, all stars considered in the analysis show WE2. While WE1 is found to
be present only in some of the stars studied. Further, the WE1 correlation is
weaker than the WE2. Both WE1 and WE2 exist in the solar S-index as well.
Similar to the solar cycles, the magnetic cycles of many stars are asymmetric
about their maxima. The existence of the Waldmeier Effect and asymmetric cycles
in Sun-like stars suggests that the dynamo mechanism which operates in the Sun
is also operating in other stars.
