Leadership can be defined as influencing others towards achieving a goal. A leader must have a deep commitment to the goal, be able to visualize the goal as achieved, and gain the trust of followers. There are several theories of leadership, including trait theories that focus on identifying personality traits linked to success, behavioral theories that evaluate successful leadership behaviors and styles, and contingency theories that recognize there is no single best leadership style and the style must fit the situation. Effective leaders create an empowering environment, act on principles, and can be made through desire and willpower rather than being born with leadership qualities.

14. 1, Trait Theories
Although it is not a fully articulated theory with well-
developed hypotheses, the trait approach formed the
basis of most early leadership research. This approach
focuses on the personal attributes (or traits) of
leaders, such as phys- ical and personality
characteristics, competencies, and values.

15. The trait theory of leadership
focuses on identifying different
personality traits and
characteristics that are linked to
successful leadership across a
variety of situations. This line of
research emerged as one of the
earliest types of investigations into
the nature of effective leadership

16. BEHAVIOURAL THEORIES

17. The Behavioral Theory of Leadership.
In response to the early criticisms of
the trait approach, theorists began to
research leadership as a set of
behaviors. They evaluated what
successful leaders did, developed a
taxonomy of actions, and identified
broad patterns that indicated different
leadership styles.

18. Contingency
Theories
Contingency theories are a
class of behavioral theory
that contend that there is no
one best way of leading and
that a leadership style that is
effective in some situations
may not be successful in
others.

environment that accepts and promotes
individual differences. As a result, they
empower the entire organization.
