1. Identify as many leadership attributes as possible and provide a brief explanation of application on three of these attributes. Self-Confidence Trusting your personal judgment, abilities, and power also differentiates leaders from followers. McWilliams and Williams (2010, p. 233) assert that confident leaders are “more decisive and assertive and are more likely to build others' confidence in the decision.” This is crucial for effective implementation of decisions. Additionally, confident leaders will not get in the way or quit when a mistake occurs. Even when the decision turns out to be bad, they view it as a learning opportunity, often building confidence in the process. Therefore, building self-confidence should improve an individual's leadership and job performance. IntegrityAccording to Maxwell, JC (1993), integrity is undoubtedly the most crucial element of leadership. Without this, leaders will fail to influence those who follow them. Leaders with integrity build trusting relationships between themselves and their followers by being honest or non-deceptive and by demonstrating high consistency between their words and actions. ELITE (2014) states that leaders need integrity to communicate honestly, openly and effectively and also motivate people to adapt to changes in the environment. It is therefore suggested that all leaders lead with integrity. This will not only benefit the followers but will also make them more successful in their interpersonal relationships. Good listener.

Simonton (2012) states that “listening is absolutely essential to creating a work environment in which employees will decide for themselves to become highly motivated, engaged, middle of paper……tivation, and the leader controls the leader relationship -follower.2) Transformational leadership (the NSW Fire Commissioner) Transformational leaders make followers aware of the importance of certain outcomes while increasing their confidence that those outcomes can be achieved (Anti Essays 2014). ). Transformational behavior was apparent in the situation involving the NSW Fire Commissioner. Griebel emphasizes the importance of the situation while increasing confidence within the team, reassuring that the goals and objectives will be achieved. We can see that this is the type of leadership that a company seeks to have within its organization. In fact, one researcher opined that when a company commits to its employees to create a responsible workforce, it wants to increase employee satisfaction and productivity (Miller and Lee, 2001, p.. 164).
