But apart from these, they need to have faith in themselves and develop positive viewpoints in terms of the individuals as well as various aspects of the organization. The development of positive well play an important part in enabling them to put into operation these characteristics in a well-organized and efficient manner. Therefore, it can be stated, all the individuals, who are in leadership positions need to be well-equipped in terms of these characteristics and put them into practice in an effectual manner. Utilizing research to identify an effective leader is essential for creating a strategic business operational leadership model. The purpose of this literature review is to focus on select objective and less objective traits of leadership among individuals who are in those positions. We explore literature on objective leadership traits such as gender, age, education level, and job satisfaction level and on the less objective traits such as integrity, energy level, and business knowledge, among others. The goal is to evaluate the hypothesis that some, if not all, of these traits contribute significantly to effective leadership by analyzing the available literature about traits of an effective leader. We will explore the theories that have been proposed on this subject in the literature, identify to what degree researchers have investigated these theories, and try to confirm which of these traits continue to significantly be related to successful leadership.
