A Trait Approach(1900-1950s): Leaders are born, not made The focus of early leadership research was to find personal traits that distinguished leaders from followers. 



The search was not successful--100s of studies lead to the conclusion that there was no such set of personal characteristics that by themselves distinguished leaders from non-leaders. A few traits such as above average intelligence, responsibility, self confidence, and persistence were associated with leaders, but they are not sufficient explanations. Later studies of leadership characteristics led to the conclusion that there were a few general traits that were associated with effective leadership such as self-confidence, stress tolerance, emotional maturity, and integrity--but again no trait or set of traits by itself guaranteed leader effectiveness. 19
