Trait Theory
Leadership traits Possessed
The trait theory can be rightfully described as an approach which has to be adopted in
order to study the personality of a human (Antonakis & Day, 2017). In case of leadership, the
traits theory identifies the traits which a successful leader generally possesses. In order to carry
out an analysis of my personal traits it is important to ensure that, the traits are identified
adequately. The core traits as present in the theory can be stated to be relating to the
Achievement drive, the Leadership motivation, cognitive ability, self-confidence and the
emotional maturity.
One of the traits which I possess can be stated to be Emotional Maturity. It can be
rightfully stated that, I am emotionally stable and not differing from any philological problems
which then enables me to perform well in the long run. I seem to understand the different people
in a better manner and it is due to this, that I am emotionally stable and strong.
Another trait which I possess can be stated to be Self-confidence. According to Burnes,
Hughes and By (2018), it is very crucial for any leader to possess adequate self-confidence as it
is the trait of self-confidence which will go a long way in helping me to lead the different people
as present and will also enable me to take the right decisions at the right time and help the people
in need.
However, a leadership trait which I do not possess can be understood to be the Creativity
skills. I can be described as a systematic individual who has a certain well defined goals as well
as objectives, however, I lack the ability to convert these adequately to the benefit of myself and
hence, in line of this, I would have liked to possess the creativity skills which would have gone a
long way in ensuring that I would be able to achieve all my goals and come out as a better leader.
