BIG FIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS OF A LEADER

Summary/Abstract: When it is necessary to decide on the professional future of a worker, or to determine does he deserve promotion or does he worth investing based on the capacities he has, the importance of the personality traits is more often highlighted. In practice, as well as in the scientific literature, we find a visibly smaller number of articles about personality of a leader. Although the competencies that a good leader should have are emphasized, usually these competencies are visible only after someone takes the position of leader. In this paper, we start from the problem of detecting personality traits that a good leader has, whether it is a political leader, captain of a sports team, head of a work organization or a representative of an informal group. By reviewing and analyzing a review of papers on leader traits, we examine which personality traits indicate that an individual will be a good leader, or - despite all other competencies, knowledge and skills - will he be led by others.
