LEADERSHIP MANAGEMENT
Trait Theory
Identification of leadership traits
The trait theory of the leadership is considered as a primary assumption that defines
the leaders have such traits or characteristics in born and due to having these qualities or
traits, they become a successful leader (Maak, Pless & Voegtlin, 2016). This theory
comprises such behavioural traits which must be have in a leader. According to the trait
theory of leadership, such common leadership related traits are such as proper cognitive
skills, motivation skills, confidence.
As stated for cognitive skills, this skill helps to become an effective leader because it
provides a proper idea for solving any difficult case happening in working environment or
other (Nanjundeswaraswamy & Swamy, 2014). For stating this part, it has selected the
organization of RBC financial in which the leaders have such effective skills for meet their
financial targets. Among the other skills, this skill helps to the leaders to identify the
problems and after that, it is required for the leaders to analyse the issues for finding the
reasons of that issues and next it has to make planning with the creative thinking as well as
wisdom for solving the issues (Yahaya & Ebrahim, 2016). Moreover, the leaders have an
additional responsibility for solving the issues for conducting the team or work group to
achieve the organizational objectives.
According to the motivation skills, these skills are described as the actions which
stimulate a particular behaviour from the stakeholder. Actually, these skills are the
combination of such parameters like motivation style, target audience and also influencing
personality. For motivating the people of RBC financial, it is necessary to provide influence
in their working, make proper communication among work peoples, sharing of feedback on
their progress as well as provide the rewards for the expected outcome etc. (Mohammed et

al., 2014) For considering motivation skills, it needs to allocate the professional development
related resources to motivated employees.
Depending on the confidence, the confidence acts as the basic step for the leadership.
At RBC financial, this confidence helps to become a better problem solver as well as
effective communicator or mentor which leads to be an effective leader. Most of the team
members are interested to work with that of the leader who has proper confident and also
provides confidence to the members for achieving their target (Iqbal, Anwar & Haider, 2015).
Moreover, this confidence of leader provides them to stay with happiness as well as keeping
better relationship with team members and always provide them motivation for achieving
their business targets.
Trait not belonging to trait theory
According to the trait theory of leadership, most of the traits of the leadership belong
within this theory. But for becoming an effective leader, it must ensure that the leader has
proper commitment capability to their team members (Khuong & Hoang, 2015). This
commitment factor is one kind of leadership quality which helps to inspire as well as attract
the team members. It is mandatory to have this quality within the leaders because it is not
only transmitting the overall work among the team members to achieve the organizational
mission, but also there must exist commitment which helps to complete the proposed work
and offers the inspiration or motivation to the employees of team members for achieving the
mission of the organizational outcomes.
Effective leader
Depending on this analysis, I think that I would be become an effective leader during
the period of continuation of job at RBC financial. However, in this organization, it does not
depend the judgement on the ability of the leaders for meeting their financial targets. In this
