Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most frequent first choice was vision, as reported by Kouzes and Posner (1995) in their survey of thousands of people on different continents. This suggests that people value leaders who have a clear and compelling vision for the future and are able to communicate it effectively. While excellent speaking skills and personal empathy may be important, they were not reported as the most important thing people want and need from their leaders. Scenario tested strategy is not a commonly recognized leadership trait or attribute, and therefore not a likely choice.
