on the other hand the findings of Stewart and his colleagues seem to suggest that self leadership is nonetheless a distinct concept from personality. Their findings revealed an interaction effect between conscientiousness and self-leadership training such that those scoring lowest in conscientiousness subsequently showed the greatest increase in self-leadership behaviors as a result of the training. This lends support to the assertion that self-leadership behaviors are amenable to change, while personality characteristics are relatively stable across both time and situation. If self leading behaviors are malleable while personality is not, then these concepts may not be synonymous.
