The personality strengths that could be beneficial to a leadership role. Friendly, warm personality, strong ability to inspire others, and ability to adapt quickly to changing situations help manage leadership role. additionally, leadership entails problem-solving hence ability to identify problems as they arise and work to solve them quickly and effectively is a leadership strength. Being comfortable with ambiguity and being able to make decisions on the fly and being able to communicate effectively with a wide range of people is a skillful hack in leadership (Leigh,2009). While leading in any group, the team participants are likely to learn more and emulated personal character than the speech delivered. thus, a leader must a have great work ethic and be able to stay on task without feeling pressure from others around them even if they may be distracted by other things going on at the time.

The ability to lead is essential for success in any field, but it can be especially valuable for those who are not naturally inclined toward leadership. For example, if a person tends to avoid conflict and choose a meek approach to problem-solving, then they may not be well-suited to leading others through challenging situations (Leigh,2009). Another personality weakness that may impact a person's ability to lead is the need for social validation. This means that they may feel insecure without the approval of others, which could make them more susceptible to threats and pressure from their colleagues.

Leaders need to be aware of opportunities that can increase their visibility in the community. leaders are those who take the time to understand their team and build relationships with them. These leaders also know how to listen and respond appropriately (Leigh,2009). A good leader is always willing to learn new skills, such as business strategies or new technologies, so that they can provide their team members with the best training possible.

Leadership also attracts threats mainly from the team of associates or the task assigned. The first is apathy—people who aren't interested in what you're doing and have no incentive to stay engaged. The second is burnout when you're so overwhelmed by work that you don't have time for the things that make your job interesting and engaging anymore. This can happen quickly if your team isn't working together effectively, or even if it is but they don't understand why the work matters.

Reflecting on the above SWOT analysis, the most interesting part is the influence of personality in a leadership role. although leadership is practiced and developed, some personality emits weaknesses while others execute strengths.
