49. Six Main Leadership
Theories

50. 1. Great Man Theory
• It states that excellent leaders are
born, not developed.
• This type of leader often
possesses the natural attributes
of intelligence, courage,
confidence, intuition, and charm
among others.

51. 2. Trait Theory
• It states that certain natural qualities
tend to create good leaders.
• Having certain qualities does not
necessarily mean someone has
strong leadership skills.
• However, some leaders may be excellent
listeners or communicators, but note every
listener or communicator makes an excellent
leader.

52. 3. Behavior Theory
• It focuses on how a person’s
environment, not natural abilities,
forms him/her into a leader.
• Conditioning – states that a person
will be more likely to act or lead in a
certain style as a result of
environmental responses to
behavior.

53. 4. Transactional/Management Theory
“The Management Theory”
• It studies leadership as a system of
rewards and penalties.
• It views effective leadership as
results-focused and hierarchical.
• It prioritizes order and structure over
creativity.

54. 5. Transformational/Relationship Theory
“The Relationship Theory”
• It studies effective leadership as the result
of a positive relationship between leaders
and team members.
• Transformational leaders motivate and
inspire through their enthusiasm and
passion.
• They are a model for their teams, and they
hold themselves to the same standard
they expect of others.

55. 6. Situational Theory
• It argues that the best kind of leader is
one who can adapt her style based on the
situation.
• They may respond to a situation by
commanding, coaching, persuading,
participating, delegating, or, however,
they think is necessary.
• Situational leaders are defined by their
flexibility.
