Saying the leadership is a trait places a great deal of emphasis on the leader and on the leader’s special gift.
Although there are many important leadership traits, what is most important for leaders is having the required traits that a particular situation demands.

Effective leadership results when the leader engages the right traits in the right place at the right time.

It is important for leaders to obtain information about what their leadership role entails and learn as much as possible about their work environment. This information will help leaders be more knowledgeable and insightful.

Confidence – confident people feel self-assured and believe they can accomplish their goals. They feel a sense of certainty and believe that they are doing the right thing. it is a trait that has to do with feeling positive about oneself and one’s ability to succeed.
So how can you build your own confidence?
Confidence comes from understanding what is required of you. Ex. Driving a car
Awareness and understanding build confidence.
Confidence can also come from having a mentor to show the way and provide positive feedback.
Confidence also comes from practice. Practice is something everyone can do. Ex. An athelete
Practice builds confidence because it provides assurance that an aspiring leader can do what needs to be done.

Charisma – refers to a leader’s special magnetic charm and appeal, and can have a huge effect on the leadership process.
