14. Leaders are charismatic.
No! Leaders come from all people-style groups. Some are amiable, analytical, assertive and animated.

Again, leaders come from all of the personality styles.
16. Leaders do not delegate the most important things.
No! The best leaders build collaborative teams that make good ideas better.
17. Leaders treat everyone the same.

No! The best leaders often have some very close friends on their teams.
