Leadership Theories
Trait Theory According to this theory: This theory is the first theory of leadership. Thomas Carlyle (1841) can be considered one of the
pioneers of the trait theory. According to this theory: People are born with leadership qualities. Good leaders have the right (or sufficient) combination
of traits. Future leadership can be predicted, if the leadership
abilities in a person are identified.
Great Man Theory According to this theory: Leaders are born and not made. Most of the leadership comes from upper class of
society. A small number of leaders come from lower class of
society. This theory contributed to the idea that leadership had
something to do with inheritance and breeding.
Behavioral Theory According to this theory: Leaders can be made, rather than are born. Successful leadership is based in definable, learnable
behavior. Leadership qualities don’t consider inborn traits or
abilities. leadership capability can be learned through
knowledge and practice. This theory opens the floodgates to leadership
development.
Contingency Theory According to this theory: The leader's effectiveness in a certain situation is
dependent upon various factors. e.g. leader's preferred style, the capabilities and behaviors of followers and various prevailing conditions.
A leadership style that is effective in some situations may not be successful in others.
leaders who are very effective at one place and time may become unsuccessful either when transplanted to another situation or when the factors around them change.
Transformational Theory According to this theory: People will follow a person who inspires and motivates
them. Leadership starts with the development of a vision. A leader should have a vision and passion to achieve
goals. Leader can achieve his goals by injecting enthusiasm
and energy in his followers.
