Leadership has never been clearly defined due to all the tools and methodologies for effective leadership. Using leadership as a practice allows each person to sculpt their “leadership” personality. Attributes like transformational leadership, empathy, with a combination of communication skill which allows inspiration to meet a common mission. Speaking within a charity organization everyone is a volunteer which means they have many choices to participate or not particiapate which does not lead to consequences of any kind. Most things are based on many different beliefs and situations people are in. The Women of Wisdom charity group exemplifies different leadership theories, the power of influence, the effectiveness of leadership, and how they support the vision and mission allow for many leadership challenges throughout this organization, and as for me there are a few changes I would make but, would they be for the better? Within our charity organization practicing personality theory provides a broader context of which trait theory is a part. Personality is the combination of physical, mental, emotional, and social characteristics and traits. It can be the way people act and react to others (Robbins & Judge, 2011), and it affects an individual's perceptions and behaviors. All decisions and information given in order to ensure max participation from each person in a volunteer organization is critical. For example, when needing money and fundraising ideas, in order for these events to be successful it is critical for the leadership to understand no one is obligated to participate. The theory mentioned above explains understanding the emotions and feelings of others while keeping the vision in mind. In our organization the Trait theory focuses on personality traits to separate capable leaders from the pack. There
