9. LEADERSHIP
THEORIES
Several theories explain leadership and how it
impacts organizational behavior:

10. LEADERSHIP THEORIES
10
1. Great Man Theory – Suggests leaders are born, not made.
2. Trait Theory – Proposes that specific traits contribute to
effective leadership.
3. Behavioral Theory – Emphasizes that leadership is learned
rather than innate.
4. Contingency Theory – States that leadership effectiveness
depends on the situation.
5. Transformational Leadership Theory – Focuses on
inspiring and empowering followers.

11. 1. Great man theory
this theory believes that leaders
are born with natural leadership
abilities—they don’t need training
or experience. It suggests that
great leaders, like historical
figures (napoleon, Abraham
Lincoln), were destined to lead.
🔹 Key idea: leadership is an
innate trait, not something you
can learn.

12. 2. Trait theory
unlike the great man theory, trait theory says that
certain personality traits make people more likely to be
effective leaders.
Common leadership traits include:
CONFIDENCE
ADAPTABILITY
CREATIVITY
ASSERTIVENESS
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE.
🔹 key idea: if you have the right traits, you can be a
good leader. But leadership is more than just
personality—it also depends on skills and experience.

13. 3. Behavioral theory
This theory believes leadership is
learned, not inherited. Leaders
develop their skills through
experience, training, and practice.
It identifies two types of leaders:
✅ task-oriented leaders – focus on
efficiency and results.
✅ People-oriented leaders – prioritize
teamwork and relationships.
🔹 Key idea: anyone can become a
leader if they learn the right behaviors.

14. 3. Behavioral theory
behavioral theories focus on the leader's
actions rather than their innate qualities:
task-oriented behaviors – prioritizing
productivity, goals, and efficiency.
People-oriented behaviors – emphasizing
relationships, communication, and team
development.

15. 4. Contingency theory
t his theory argues that there is no single
best leadership style—the right leadership
approach depends on the situation or
environment.
For example:
🔹 in a crisis, an autocratic leader (who
makes quick decisions) might be best.
🔹 In an innovative workplace, a democratic
leader (who encourages ideas) is more
effective.
Key idea: leadership must be flexible—
different situations need different styles.

16. 4. Contingency theory
task-oriented leadership – works
best in structured, rule-driven
environments.
Relationship-oriented leadership –
thrives in collaborative settings that
emphasize teamwork.

17. 5. Transformational
leadership theory
this theory sees leaders as inspirational role
models who motivate and empower their teams to
achieve great things.
Transformational leaders:
✅ have a clear vision
✅ inspire enthusiasm
✅ lead by example
✅ support personal development
🔹 key idea: great leaders don’t just give orders—
they inspire and uplift their teams.
Each leadership theory offers a different
perspective on what makes an effective leader.
Some focus on natural traits, while others
highlight learned behaviors or adaptability.
