Paper Summary:
The paper examines research on the subject of personality and effective leadership styles and identifies settings in which certain personality types flourish. The paper discusses personality traits which can be mistaken for extroversion, such as hypomania, and attempts to make a clear definition of leadership. The paper presents the hypothesis that an extroverted person is more likely to succeed as a leader than an introverted person. The paper concludes from the research, however, that this hypothesis can not be substantiated.Outline:

Personality and Leadership
From the Paper:
"What makes an excellent leader? Does effective leadership stem from the combination of the right person and the right situation, or can an individual mold his or herself into a leader if given the right tools. Are there some personalities which are innately better at leadership? I believe that there are certain types of personality who will succeed in a leadership position. There are many types of personality, but for this study, I plan to research the extraverted personality."Sample of Sources Used:
