Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A dominant characteristic of effective leaders is their passion for their work and to some extent for the people who help them accomplish the work. The passion goes beyond enthusiasm and often expresses itself as an obsession for achieving company goals. The downside to extreme passion for work is that it can lead to work addiction, thereby interfering with other joys in life. See "Personality Traits of Effective Leaders."
