Leadership theories propose that specific behaviors differentiate leaders from non-leaders. The Ohio State and University of Michigan studies identified behaviors such as initiating structure, consideration, production orientation, and employee orientation. The goal is to develop leaders by training them in behaviors like defining roles, building trust, and focusing on tasks or interpersonal relationships. Approaches to leadership also differ on whether leaders are born with traits or if leadership behaviors can be trained and developed.
