Leadership Traits

Charismatic• Obama’s combination of confidence, assertiveness, and congeniality fits the profile

of a charismatic leader. Specifically, Obama’s profile indicates that he has an extraordinary mix of ambitious, dominant, and outgoing traits foundational to the political skills required to advance a personal vision, connect with people, and inspire followers.

• Obama’s level of ambition is at a moderate level that generally conveys self-confidence, social composure, poise, level-headedness, stability, and charm rather than narcissistic self-absorption or arrogance.

• Similarly, Obama’s modest degree of dominance finds expression in deliberative, forceful assertiveness rather than the hot-headed combativeness found in more extreme variants of this particular tendency.

• Barack Obama as a transformational leader rather than a transactional leader. There are many reasons for this. Firstly, he is very engaging with his audience. It is clear that he is trying to make connections with the American people to help motivate them to follow him. This is a classic trait and example of transformational leadership.

• Another reason is that, through his speech he comments a lot on his dedication to the working class but also refers to the middle class too. This shows that he is trying to appeal to the majority of the population of America. By relating to them, and showing his commitment to them he is making a connection. This in turn will help motivate them to follow him

Transformational

Personality Traits

• One of the critiques of President Obama that has some merit is that he is pretty risk-averse. He doesn’t take a lot of chances on things that might prove to be failures. For example, the President has been very clear about the fact that he would have preferred a single payer health insurance system. But he knew that the chances for failure with that were way too high and so he went for a more modest change to our current system with Obamacare.

• The one time I can think of that the President took a big risk that didn’t pay off was when he attempted to negotiate a Grand Bargain with Speaker John Boehner. That one failed. But I also think that after all his talk of wanting to engage in bipartisan reform, he had to at least give it a go or prove himself to be yet another politician made of empty promises.

Risk Taking

• A deliberate decision of Mr. Obama was to surround himself with people that don't necessarily agree with his views.  This way, the President will gain different perspectives on difficult issues.  If his cabinet were to contain people that constantly agree with him, he could make purely 'Obama' choices all of the time, and the right decision might not always be made- nobody's perfect.
