Leadership theories can be divided into trait, behavioral, and style approaches. Trait theories view leadership as innate qualities like personality and intelligence. Behavioral theories propose that leadership skills can be learned and certain behaviors differentiate leaders. Leadership styles include people-oriented, task-oriented, and development-oriented approaches. Transactional leaders motivate followers towards goals while transformational leaders provide inspiration through charisma and consideration of individuals.
