Leadership also encompasses the behaviour of a leader toward his or her followers, which illuminates the fact that leadership does not occur in a vacuum. Context, geographic location, and various other parameters impact leadership. For this week's first discussion, in a 1,000-word response, post your answers to the following questions:
• Given the fact that leadership does not occur in a vacuum, are personality traits sufficient measurements of leadership? Why or why not?
• In your response, please discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using personality traits to measure leadership as opposed to using the skills and/or styles approaches.
