CEVAP:

Trait perceptive in leadership is very different from the other perspectives in leadership because it focuses only on the leader, not on the followers or the situation. Correspondingly it causes some limitations and criticisms on this approach. Firstly, the list of possible significant traits for effective leader is unlimited. Although a huge number of research has been conducted over the past 100 years, the findings from these studies have been unclear and changeable in times. Secondly, trait approach assumes that all successful leaders have the same personal traits that are equally important in all situations. However, this assumption is not correct, leadership is far too complex to have a universal list of traits that apply to every condition. Such as two leaders with different pattern of trait could be effective in the same situation. Lastly, derived from previous criticisms, trait approach on leadership is about the leader, but scholars emphasize that leadership is relational. People are successful leaders because of their favorable relationships with followers; so, successful leaders can only explain in the view of quality of these relationships.
