Although leadership has been widely researched, there is no universal agreement on the definition of leadership or what makes someone an effective leader. Some scholars have suggested that effective leaders have specific, innate traits, such as charisma, that attract and inspire followers. Other scholars have suggested that effective leaders display specific behaviors, such as creating a vision and mentoring followers. More often than not, the most effective leaders have a combination of specific traits and behaviors that are especially useful in a given context.
