Most of the Big Five personality dimensions (see Chapter 2) are associated with effective leadership to some extent, but the strongest predictors are high levels of extroversion (outgoing, talkative, sociable, and assertive) and conscientiousness (careful, dependable, and self-disciplined).With high extroversion, effective leaders are comfortable having an influential role in social settings.With higher conscientiousness, effective leaders set higher goals for themselves (and others) and are more motivated to pursue those goals.
