I honestly do believe that the percentage of 50 to 75% is true. The reason that is, is because I have seen in my own eyes so many leaders that have not been great examples. They were in a position when in reality they should of not been there. Leaders are the example and when we put leaders that are not fit. It sets the tone for the entire organization. Leadership is extremely important in any role and an effective should always be in that place of authority.
I do not believe that this percentage is to low or high because that is the number that I have seen of ineffective leaders in an organization. According to our lecture, some great traits of a leader include intelligence, honesty, self-confidence, and appearance. If a leader exhibits these traits they are able to be an effective leader. I truly believe that these are some of the main factors of what a leader should actually be. An ineffective leader shows traits such as communication problems, no time management skills, and they are always stressed. I had a leader once who was always stressed and always worried.
Which in that case as he was my leader caused me to do the same. He was always worried about us not hitting goal when needed and that we were all going to get fired. He always had me worked up and worried, which I never really am. Due to his ineffective leadership traits, they started to rub off on me. After time, I was able to handle it and learn to not learn from him because of his ineffective leadership traits. As I soon became my own leader and attempted to do what is right for my employees.
