This paper attempts to examine leadership habits, styles and traits by conducting research and through academics that are present online and in books. The thesis aims to answer the research question of if psychological traits are present in leaders and if or how can they be enhanced. This is done by extensively going through and studying the habits and traits that prove favorable for a leadership position. Moreover, by conducting interviews and seeing a pattern of these traits and what goes on within the mind of a leader in terms of their beliefs, values and vision.
The five extensive interviews conducted provide an insightful overview of how leaders are practicing their traits and beliefs on a daily basis in real life. Moreover, the solution to the research question is provided by the Big Five personality trait and understanding how these are linked with cognitive psychology. Furthermore, the habits of leaders and the pattern of their belief system and working strongly by the moral value seems to be a norm and compliments the solution, efficiently. Lastly, leaders would need to understand their mindset and the psychology of their traits to better capitalize on strengths and minimize the effects of weaknesses.
