Research on leadership traits over the past 100 years has not produced a definitive list of traits. While some common traits have been identified, there is no one-size-fits-all list of traits that apply to all leaders in all situations. There are also conflicting findings on which traits are most important for effective leadership. Overall, the research suggests that leadership is a complex phenomenon influenced by a range of factors beyond individual traits.
