Abstract

The effectiveness of a leader is determined by their leadership skills. Although each leader has their own distinct style, there are a few commonly known forms of leadership, including transformational, transactional, democratic, servant, and charismatic authority leadership. Contrarily, the dark triad, which includes the personality traits of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, is a dark personality trait. Even though these characteristics of dark triad can cause personality disorders, they somehow improve a leader's ability in a crisis. Secondary data have been gathered through a variety of techniques to support the former mentioned statement. According to the findings, dark traits are positively correlated with effective leadership outcomes and crisis management and decision making, in whole or in part.
