Leadership Culture: Key Traits, Behaviors, and Organizational Impact

Abstract

This study explores the critical aspects of leadership culture, emphasizing traits, behaviors, and organizational impacts. Despite extensive research on leadership qualities, a gap remains in understanding the integration of personal culture with professional efficacy. Using a mixed-methods approach, including qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys among leaders in cultural and art institutions, the study identifies key leadership traits such as confidence, independence, and competence. Findings indicate that effective leadership combines these traits with entrepreneurial activity and trust, significantly enhancing team motivation and organizational outcomes. The results suggest that fostering a culture of trust and initiative within leadership can drive innovation and efficiency, providing valuable insights for leadership development programs in similar contexts.
