Drawbacks of Trait theory

Drawbacks of Trait theory

Answers

Faith
1.There are no universal traits that will give leadership in all situations, while trait appears to predict leadership on relative situations.
2. Trait predicts behaviour more in weak situations rather than in strong situations. Strong situations are there when the behaviour norms are strong incentives for specific type of behaviour and clear expectations as to which behaviour is rewarded and which is punished. Some strong situations create the opportunities for leaders to express. Organizations with strong cultures fit in the description of strong situation but here power of trait to predict leadership is limited.
3.Inability to separate cause from effect. For example: Does self-confidence create leadership or does success as a leader build self-confidence.
