This study examines how personality traits measured by the FIKR (facet, insight, knowledge and resilience) assessment tool impact leadership effectiveness.The primary objective is to identify key traits that significantly contribute to effective leadership, providing practical insights for enhancing leadership development programs with a focus on Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations.With a sample of 409 individuals using the FIKR personality assessment tool, we employed multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis to identify significant predictors of leadership effectiveness.Emotional stability, extroversion, achievement orientation, supportiveness, analytical thinking, intellectual capability, autonomy, and control emerged as significant positive predictors of leadership scores, explaining a substantial proportion of variance.These findings emphasize the importance of specific personality traits in effective ESG leadership and suggest practical implications for ESG leadership development programs.The study contributes to the understanding of ESG leadership dynamics and provides a foundation for future research.
