Your team leader has always been a natural communicator. He has performed his job well and he never doubted any of his team members. When working in a stressful environment, he always managed to achieve team coherency. Why is this an example of a trait leader? Because all of his skills were taught at an excellent college. Because his traits, such as managing to connect to his team, seem to make him a good leader. It isn't. A true leader should never trust the members of his team without strong support. It isn't. It is entirely the responsibility of the rest of the team.
