Previous research using qualitative methods illustrates that there are two main dimensions of effective leadership for a multicultural society in dealing with horizontal conflicts in Indonesia, namely the dimensions of personal attributes and behavioral competencies. The dimensions of personal attributes include cognitive abilities, innate traits and, while the behavioral dimensions of competence include personal and interpersonal competencies. Data was collected online and obtained as many as 247 respondents from the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi areas. In the internal consistency of the measuring instrument used for each dimension 0.76 (cognitive ability), 0.844 (trait), and 0.88 (value). By analysis using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) it was found that the personal attribute model was significant with the GoF SRMR index (0.099), d_ULS (12.9191). the magnitude of the contribution of each dimension is 0.776 (cognitive ability), 0.701 (innate/traits), and 0.936 (value). Can unlock the dimensions of personal attributes that have a significant role because it shows the leadership potential of each individual that needs to be considered in the process of selecting prospective leaders and can then be used for the preparation of leadership training programs.
