Identify six core characteristics that the majority of effective leaders possess

Identify six core characteristics that the majority of effective leaders possess

Answers

Faith
1. Drive. Leaders are ambitious and take initiative.
2. Motivation. Leaders want to lead and are willing to take charge.
3. Honesty and integrity. Leaders are truthful and do what they say they will do.
4. Self-confidence. Leaders are assertive and decisive and enjoy taking risks. They admit mistakes and foster trust and commitment to a vision. Leaders are emotionally stable rather than recklessly adventurous.
5. Cognitive ability. Leaders are intelligent, perceptive, and conceptually skilled, but are not necessarily geniuses. They show analytical ability, good judgment, and the capacity to think strategically.
6. Business knowledge. Leaders tend to have technical expertise in their businesses. Traits do a better job at predicting that a manger may be an effective leader rather than actually distinguishing between an effective or ineffective leader. Because workplace situations vary, leadership requirements vary. As a result, researchers began to examine what effective leaders do rather than what effective leaders are.
