leaders born that way? Briefly describe your experience as a leader.
Which traits of a successful

experience. Although no trait or set of traits consistently appears in leaders, successful leaders
tend to have more adaptability, ambition, creativity, inspiration, rapid information processing,
self-confidence, desire to lead, fair-mindedness, focus on empowerment, supportiveness,
technological knowledge, and trustworthiness. Task roles are those focused on accomplishing
the group's goal; maintenance roles foster positive relationships.
