Leaders often exhibit the "Halo Effect".

The "Halo Effect" is a cognitive bias where people tend to perceive individuals who possess one positive trait as having many positive qualities overall. In the context of leadership, this means that if a leader is seen as charismatic or competent in one aspect, their other qualities may be overestimated as well. This bias can influence how followers perceive and judge their leaders, potentially impacting decisions and outcomes within a group or organization. Being aware of the Halo Effect can help both leaders and followers make more objective assessments of leadership effectiveness.
