My top five values were: Justice, Wisdom, Loyalty, Family, and Creativity. After reviewing my values, I noticed that some of them intertwined with another.

In other words, one who is a level five leader, has mastered the other four levels and have the exceptional balance of humility and the will for excellence.

The following will discuss five leadership styles and theories that are characteristics of leaders, identify current leaders who possess these traits, and explore my own leadership style. Leadership theories tend to be the basis to forming leadership styles, for example if you believe that you are born to lead and had success in doing so then trait theory may be what you based your style upon. Trait theory being one of the first theories to come about has remained a popular one. The philosophy behind this theory is that people are either born or are made with certain traits that will make them excel in leadership roles hence the name trait theory. Trait theorists often identify certain personality or behavioral traits shared by leaders.
