profoundly influenced the course of
human events , careful scientific study of
them began only about a centure ago.
Early studies focused on the traits, or

Lincoln. Napoleon, joan of arc, Hitler and
Gandhi are names that most of us know
quite well early researchers believed that
leaders such as these had some unique
set of qualities or traitsthat distinguish
them from their peers.
8. BEHAVIORAL APPROACHES TO
LEADERSHIP
In the late 1940s most researchers began
to shift away from the traits approach and
started to look at leadership as an
observable to process or activity.

to leadership is vroomS decision tree
approach. The earliest version of this
model was propoed by victor vroom and
Philip yetton and latter revided and
expanded by vroom and Arthur jago.

Vrooms decision tree approach assumes
that the degree to which subordinates
should be encouraged to participate in
decision making depends on the
characteristic of the situation
15. EVALUATION AND
IMPLICATIONS
Because Vrooms current approach is
lelatively new it has not been fully
scientifically tested. The original model
and its subsequent refinement however
attracted a great deal of attention and
were generally supported by research.
