LEADERS AND NON LEADERS

Ralph M Stogdill  in his research compared the traits of leaders who have emerged as leaders with traits of those who have not. Here he has discovered that there are no specific, inborn characteristics to distinguish leaders from followers. But it is proven that leaders as a group are brighter, more self confident and more extroverted than non leaders. Further he has identified though the millions of individuals posses the innate qualities, many of them do not attain the leadership positions.Most of the leaders become more confident after they become leaders and some of the traits can be the result of leadership experience.(Stoner, 2011)
