The study of leader traits has a long and controversial history. While research
shows that the possession of certain traits alone does not guarantee leadership
success, there is evidence that effective leaders are different from other people
in certain key respects. Key leader traits include: drive (a broad term which
includes achievement, motivation, ambition, energy, tenacity, and initiative);
leadership motivation (the desire to lead but not to seek power as an end in
itself); honesty and integrity; self-confidence (which is associated with emotional
stability); cognitive ability; and knowledge of the business. There is less clear
evidence for traits such as charisma, creativity and flexibility. We believe that
the key leader traits help the leader acquire necessary skills; formulate an
organizational vision and an effective plan for pursuing it; and take the
necessary steps to implement the vision in reality.
