Get a revealing look behind the nice attitudes of alluring leaders

What is it about?

A careful inventory of the research done during the last four decades, with a focus on the basic features of a person, revealed that the following features are established very early and are important for the following development: Trust in others, Trust in self, Flexibility, Ttruthfulness and An intrinsic sense of responsibility. This result is not very surprising since these features seem so familiar to us. They have been used to characterize both good and less good aspects of the human nature since ancient times. They have–expressed in different ways–been important parts of good virtues, in old codes of law and in religious scriptures already thousands of years ago. These features constitute a foundation in the model to characterize leaders that I describe. Knowing about these features you can predict quite a lot of the actions and performance of a leader, including probable deficiencies.

Why is it important?

The traditional traits and leadership styles that often are referred to in the literature about leadership, management, and organizational development may characterize important aspects of leadership; however, they have not been proven to be sufficient criteria for predicting leadership. The current study describes a structure, based on scientifically verified connections, by which leader deficiencies can be be predicted.
