Leadership Traits Assessment IntroductionLeadership
is the ability to influence others and shape the outcome of events.
Leaders accomplish this both by their outward behaviors (what they do),
and their inner traits (who they are). The
actions that leaders take to influence others and shape events are
reflections of their competencies based on their knowledge, skills, and
their ability to apply them. These behavioral or competency aspects of
leadership can be developed.But,
leaders also influence others by who they are. Their inner qualities,
such as: how they think; their character and personality; and their core
values; are what inspires trust and causes others to follow their lead.These
inner traits and values are not easy to develop. They are usually
formed early in life and become ingrained in a person …. It’s who they
are. It

respect and trust them. People tend to believe in and follow those with
strong character traits. These internal traits are persistent
characteristics of a person.This
