“…Thus, we can draw a conclusion that through the humanistic approach of the principal, the image of the school has changed meaning into a forum for empowering student characters.

“…Thomas and Thomas (2011:530) argue that leadership uses critical and constructive debates, communication, open examination and 'thinking outside the box' in order for the academia to be successful. A study conducted on 112 staff at the University of Lagos in Nigeria by Solaja, Idowu and James (2016) suggested that university leaders should mainstream all employees in the decision-making processes, which will increase creativity and innovation amongst them. Coates et al (2010:381) mention major features of a conducive university arena, which include administrative efficiency, autonomy and the involvement of employees in the decisionmaking structures.…”

This article investigated the effects of leadership traits on transformation in a merged and incorporated higher education institution in South Africa. Few studies have been conducted on leadership traits in universities, with none linking them to transformation. The study was guided by the traits theory, one of the systematic attempts to study the effect of leadership on transformation. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used, the former through a structured survey questionnaire and the latter through in-depth interviews. The questionnaire generated a high reliability rate of 0.947, indicating a high degree of internal consistency of the results, which reflected nearly 40% of the research participants who felt that the university creates a platform for open debates. However, 30% of them did not feel that independent thinking and freedom of speech are promoted, a finding partly corroborated by the qualitative findings. It was also found that business processes were inflexible, there was no reward for performance, unproductive change interventions were introduced and decision-making centralised, all seen as contrary to the transformation agenda and reflecting poor leadership traits. It is hoped that the study will assist university decision-makers under the current state of turmoil in the South African higher education landscape to exhibit leadership traits that will bring about transformation. The study also fills a void in the scant literature on the effects of leadership traits on transformation in South African universities, thus contributing to the body of knowledge.

“…No matter how intelligent or confident a person is, if they lack effective communication skills it is highly unlikely that they will be successful as a leader. A study by Solaja et al examined the relationship between leadership communication style, personality traits, and organizational productivity [29]. They surveyed 112 academic staff to determine their perceptions.…”

The results of the study revealed that a connection between leadership communication style and personality traits does exist, that leadership communication style determines organizational productivity, and that personality traits and communication styles together have an effect on organizational productivity [29]. Employee motivation and satisfaction have also been shown to be dependent on effective communication [30].…”

A common perception exists that extroverts are better communicators than introverts, and thus make the best leaders. Research studies throughout time have consistently resulted in the belief that extroverts are more likely to emerge as leaders and are more likely to be perceived as effective. The Trait Theory of Leadership and the Personality Type Theory have been used in research to suggest that theories support that extraversion is key to professional leadership communication and success. The purpose of this article was to conduct a thorough review of leadership communication from a personality perspective. Leadership and personality theories were examined in depth through review of current and past research studies. There is a growing body of research adding to the newfound belief that introverts possess traits that can contribute to their success in leadership roles. According to a review of recent research, organizations may benefit immensely from the inclusion of introverts in leadership positions. Thus, the field of healthcare would benefit from further research regarding how best to utilize introverts within leadership of organizations. Since introverts communicate in different ways than extroverts, organizations should look at their current methods of communication and ensure that the channels of communication are effective for all types of leaders.
