Donald Trump claims that his is much better than his opponent’s, and indeed has asserted that his “strongest asset, maybe by far”, is what he calls his“winning temperament”. Meanwhile the Clinton campaign has repeatedly railed against Trump for what they say is an unstable temperament– one that is easily rattled by critique and responds by resorting to jibes and insults.  \nIn political contestation, more often than not, if one is attacked, the likely impulse is to react with an equally, if not more, abrasive strike-back. Therefore, a self-declared winning temperament is an irony especially when words, tweets andretorts indicate otherwise. At the same time, some very seasoned politicians have managed to cultivate their public personas to appear polished, professional and, what some would call, ‘presidential’, in full recognition that such a temperament is what would garner them public support.  \nSo why is temperament so important? Good temperament certainly appears to be a quality that the best leaders possess , but one that is probably not easily learnt (unlike other leadership competencies) . In fact, it refers to a leader’sinnate nature and disposition particularly as it affects behaviour.  \nBy definition, temperament is more than a matter of controlling one’s temper. It connotes a leader’s composure, grace and outlook on the world, as well as his or her sense of individuality that can  \nradiate strength and confidence. A good temperament also indicates a strong sense of self, where one would not feel threatened working alongside a diverse team with different opinions, skills and capabilities; and in fact can draw and harness the power of an amalgamation of strengths to the greatest advantage. Good temperament goes hand in hand with being good with people. And when a leader has this quality, it is clearly discernible.  \nTempering temperament  \nSelf-awareness is the mark of a good leader, where they are aware of their strengths and how to use them, as well as acknowledge their weaknesses and how to improve upon them. A model that offers an introspective look at one’s temperament can provide insight into how a person views and exercises power and authority. Using personality inventories such as the MyersBriggs Type Indicator (MBTI), can allow leaders not only to understand their personality types as it applies in an organisational setting, but also their temperament.  \nFor those familiar with the MBTI instrument, identifying temperament is quite straightforward. The MBTI inventory looks at a combination of four preferences. In the temperament model, introversion or extraversion does not matter, but the combination of two preferences among the remaining three of the following variables do:  \n􀁸 Information: the preference between focusing on the information available (Sensing or ‘S’) , and interpreting and adding meaning (Intuition or ‘N’) .  \n􀁸 Decisions: the preference between looking first at logic and consistency when making decisions (Thinking or ‘T’) , and looking first at people and special circumstances (Feeling or‘F’)  \n􀁸 Structure: the preference between working within existing structures when dealing with the outside world (Judging or ‘J’) , and adapting and staying open to other options (Perceiving or ‘P’) .  \nThe temperament model based on MBTI thus offers four different variables of temperament based on the following combinations:  \n1. Intuition and Feeling (NF)  \n2. Intuition and Thinking (NT)  \n3. Sensing and Judging (SJ)  \n4. Sensing and Perceiving (SP)  \nLeaders under these four categories can generally be described as follows:  \n1. Intuition and Feeling (NF)– The People’s Leader  \nNF type leaders are driven by relationships. They seek to make personal connections and win the commitment and dedication of their people.
