The traits based leadership theory essentially is the belief that leaders character traits and qualities are innate. The traits based leadership theory assumes that people are born as leaders and that being a leader is not learned from experiences. It assumes that leadership traits and qualities are part of a leader’s genetic composition and that these traits and qualities are passed down to each generation. The pros to this theory are that leaders are established from birth and already have inherent leadership traits and qualities. Leaders do not need to learn how to lead, but know how to lead members from the get go. However, there are many cons to this theory, mainly that not everyone can be a leader. Leaders are molded and shaped through their experiences and environments while growing up. In our society, people are not born leaders, but rather learn to become leaders.
