BMAL-590 BUSINESS LEADERSHIP EXAM QUESTIONS

AND ANSWERS WIT COMPLETE SOLUTIONS


Leadership


a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal


General Personality Traits of Effective Leaders


Self-confidence, humility, trustworthiness, sense of humor, authenticity, enthusiasm, optimism, warmth,

assertiveness, and extraversion


Self-Confidence:


In almost every leadership setting, it is important for the leader to be realistically self-confident. A leader

who is self-assured without being bombastic or overbearing instills self-confidence in team members. In

addition to being self-confident, the leader must project that self-confidence to the group. Self-

confidence is akin to being calm under pressure.


Humility:


Being humble at the right times also contributes to leadership effectiveness. Part of humility is admitting

that you don't know everything and admitting your mistakes to team members and outsiders. A leader,

upon receiving a compliment for an accomplishment, may explain that the group deserves the credit.


Trustworthiness:

,The popular cliché, "Leaders must walk the talk," demonstrates a consistency between deeds (walking)

and words (talking). In this context, trust is defined as a person's confidence in another individual's

intentions and motives, and in the sincerity of that individual's word. Also helpful is telling the truth and

conducting yourself in the way that you ask others to conduct themselves. A study found that 72 percent

of employees believe their immediate managers act with honesty and integrity in their work, but only 56

percent believe that about company leadership. To build trust, make your behavior consistent with your

intentions.


Authenticity:


Embedded in the trait of being trustworthy is authenticity - being genuine and honest about your

personality, values, and beliefs. This personal integrity is foundational for an individual to become an

authentic leader and demonstrate authenticity, i.e., be yourself rather than attempting to be a replica of

someone else. The authentic leader can emphasize different values and characteristics to different

people without being phony.


Extraversion:


It is helpful for leaders to be outgoing in most situations. Extraversion may be an almost innate

personality characteristic, yet most people can move toward becoming more extraverted by consciously

attempting to be more friendly toward people including smiling and asking questions. Being extraverted

contributes to leadership effectiveness, and extraverts are more likely to want to assume a leadership

role and participate in group activities.


Assertiveness:


Letting others know where you stand contributes to leadership effectiveness, and also contributes to

being or appearing extraverted. Assertiveness refers to being forthright in expressing demands, opinions,

,feelings, and attitudes. Being assertive helps leaders perform tasks such as confronting group members,

demanding higher performances, and making legitimate demands on higher management. An assertive

person is reasonably tactful rather than being aggressive.


Enthusiasm, Optimism, and Warmth:


Group members respond positively to enthusiasm and it helps build good relationships with team

members. Enthusiasm often takes the form of optimism which helps keep the group in an upbeat mood

and hopeful about attaining goals. Being a warm person and projecting that warmth is part of

enthusiasm and contributes to leadership effectiveness in several ways, including establishing rapport

with group members, projecting charisma, and providing emotional support.


Sense of Humor:


The effective use of humor is an important leadership trait as humor helps dissolve tension and defuse

conflict. Self-effacing humor is the choice of comedians and organizational members alike.


Task-Related Personality Traits of Effective Leaders


passion, flexibility and adaptability, emotional intelligence, internal locus of control, and courage


Passion for the Work and the People:


A dominant characteristic of effective leaders is their passion for their work and to some extent for the

people who help them accomplish the work. The passion goes beyond enthusiasm and often expresses

itself as an obsession for achieving company goals.

Passion for the work is especially evident in entrepreneurial leaders and small-business owners who are

preoccupied with growing their business.



Being passionate about the nature of the business can be a major success factor in its survival. One of

, the ways for an entrepreneur to inject passion into a business is to tell a creation story that inspires

people to understand how the company's product or cause will make the world a better place.


Flexibility and Adaptability:


A leader must be flexible and adaptable enough to cope with change, especially because a leader is

someone who facilitates change. Changes might include technological advances, downsizing, global

outsourcing, a shifting customer base, or a changing work force.

Flexibility, or adjusting to different situations, has long been recognized as an important leadership

characteristic. Without the underlying trait of flexibility, a person could be an effective leader in only one

or two situations.


Emotional Intelligence:


Leadership effectiveness is impacted by how well a person manages his or her emotions and how they

respond to those of others.



There are four key factors:

1. self awareness helps you understand your impact on others



2. self-management is the ability to control one's emotions and act with honesty and integrity in a

consistent and adaptable manner



3. social awareness includes having empathy for others and having intuition about organizational

problems
