Abstract: Abstract Trait Theory, one of the earliest theories of leadership, suggests that the strength of leadership depends on the existence or not of certain personality traits. However, in fact, the degree of strength of traits also affect the leadership. This paper, by studying Chang, the founder of Forever 21, found that some traits that are traditionally considered positively associated with leadership such as self-confidence and ambition can nevertheless lead to debilitating effects if their level is too high.
