Praise to Allah SWT for always giving us strength again and again to continue our journey in this life.
In the previous entry, I had explained to you the definition of the leadership based on scholars. So what do you think? Are leaders born or made? (^_^)
This question reflects two ways of research, one of these examines the personal qualities of leaders (the trait approach) and another focuses on the way leaders behave (behavioral theories) and the situations in which they operate.
Researchers using the trait approach to examine leadership effectiveness and describe a universal personality for leadership success. If great leaders had the same characteristics, then this would suggest leadership was innate and that individuals born with these particular traits would be likely to rise to positions of power and influence. It is known as the Great Man Theory. This would mean that that a great leader in one sphere (say industry) would also be a good leader in another (sport perhaps).
These appeared to be some common traits amongst the leaders studied – from business, industry, politics and the military.
For example, they tended to be slightly more intelligent, assertive, ambitious and dominant than their followers, but differences did not add up to a clear ‘great man’ profile and could have been related more too how leader emerge, rather than how effective they are.
