  6. Tips for Students: Leadership Qualities — Staying On Target • Andrew J. DuBrin has identified many of these characteristics in his book Leadership: Research Findings, Practice, and Skills, Seventh Edition. Here’s a quick summary of the traits he recounts: • Self confidence. Per DuBrin, “A leader who is self-assured without being bombastic or overbearing instills self-confidence in team members” (p. 37). Your self-confidence and calm demeanor can help others feel more certain that they, too, can overcome hurdles or reach a challenging goal. • Humility. When you’re willing to share credit with others, and you’re willing to admit that you’re not perfect, others see that and appreciate it. • Core self-evaluations. Research shows that four related self-perceptions relate to effective leadership: “self-esteem, locus of control [that is, taking responsibility for what happens in your life], self-efficacy [akin to self-confidence], and emotional stability” (p. 40). • See entire article at: http://blog.cengage.com/?top_blog=tips-for-students-leadership-qualities-staying-on-target 6
