Qualities of Effective Leaders and Success in the Long Run
The common traits among better leaders are character-related, such as making those around them better and being humble. They are aware of what they don't know and seek new knowledge. While it is difficult to measure leadership success in the long run, there are cases of leaders with bad qualities achieving success. Steve Jobs is an example, despite moments of narcissism and arrogance. It is unclear if he succeeded because of these qualities or in spite of them. However, being kinder and treating people better could have inspired loyalty and motivation, which Jobs started doing when he returned to Apple.
