“…A. Murphy (1941) remarked, "Leadership does not reside in the person" (p. 674), and Jenkins (1947) concluded, "No single trait or group of characteristics has been isolated which sets off the leader from members of his group" (pp. 74 -75).…”

This article provides a qualitative review of the trait perspective in leadership research, followed by a meta-analysis. The authors used the five-factor model as an organizing framework and meta-analyzed 222 correlations from 73 samples. Overall, the correlations with leadership were Neuroticism = -.24, Extraversion = .31, Openness to Experience = .24, Agreeableness = .08, and Conscientiousness = .28. Results indicated that the relations of Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, and Conscientiousness with leadership generalized in that more than 90% of the individual correlations were greater than 0. Extraversion was the most consistent correlate of leadership across study settings and leadership criteria (leader emergence and leadership effectiveness). Overall, the five-factor model had a multiple correlation of .48 with leadership, indicating strong support for the leader trait perspective when traits are organized according to the five-factor model.

“…The "great man theory" advocated by Galton (1869) represents this idea. Several early researchers (Mumford, 1909;Murphy, 1941;Person, 1928) explained the emergence of great leaders as a result of time, place, and circumstance. Later, Fiedler ( 1961) emphasized the "leadership effectiveness traits" as qualities needed to perform well as a leader rather than those needed to become one .…”
