Discuss which leadership traits you feel are the most import

Discuss which leadership traits you feel are the most important in the creation of sound public policies. Some questions to consider are: does a leader’s educational background matter significantly in providing leadership in the policy making process? Do leaders need to have a military background in order to execute successful policies involving the armed forces? Is it necessary for strong leaders in the policy making arena to have traveled widely and to have had significant foreign policy experience?

In addition, you may wish to illustrate your points by identifying specific past or current leaders in public policy who exemplify the traits you feel are the most important in public policy leadership. Be sure to justify your selections by connecting the leaders you select to the leadership traits you deemed most important.

Solution

to become a leader, education is not necessary. but if the people have it will be much benefited to differentiate with legal aspects.

the need of leadership will be depeneds on the place of work also. if you are in a place where every one is immatrure and they dont know about any thing, then you only should take decisions and implement them. here autocratic leadership is better.

if we are in a place every one is good and they are professionals at their work, then consultative approach is better.

what i want to say is, based on the place and nature of the work, people representing in the area and work, the need of leadership style depends.
