TRAIT THEORIES Throughout history, strong leaders—Buddha, Napoléon, Mao, Churchill, Roosevelt, Reagan—have been described in terms of their traits. Trait theories of leadership thus focus on personal qualities and characteristics. We recognize leaders like South Africa’s Nelson Mandela, Virgin Group CEO Richard Branson, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, and American Express Chairman Ken Chenault as charismatic, enthusiastic, and courageous. The search for personality, social, physical, or intellectual attributes that differentiate leaders from non-leaders goes back to the earliest stages of leadership research. Early research efforts to isolate leadership traits resulted in a number of dead ends. A review in the late 1960s of 20 different studies identified nearly 80 leadership traits, but only five were common to four or more of the investigations. By the 1990s, after numerous studies and analyses, about the best we could say was that most leaders “are not like other people,” but the particular traits that characterized them varied a great deal from review to review. It was a confusing state of affairs. A breakthrough, of sorts, came when researchers began organizing traits around the Big Five personality (ambition and energy are part of extraversion, for instance), giving strong support to traits as predictors of leadership. A comprehensive review of the leadership literature, when organized around the Big Five, has found extraversion to be the most important trait of effective leaders, but it is more strongly related to the way leaders emerge than to their effectiveness. Sociable and dominant people are more likely to assert themselves in group situations, but leaders need to make sure they’re not too assertive—one study found leaders who scored very high on assertiveness were less effective than those who scored moderately high. Unlike agreeableness and emotional stability, conscientiousness and openness to experience also showed strong relationships to leadership, though not quite as strong as extraversion. Overall, the trait approach does have something to offer. Leaders who like being around people and are able to assert themselves (extraverted), who are disciplined and able to keep commitments they make (conscientious), and who are creative and flexible (open) do have an apparent advantage when it comes to leadership, suggesting good leaders do have key traits in common. One reason is that conscientiousness and extraversion are positively related to leaders’ self-efficacy, which explained most of the variance in subordinates’ ratings of leader performance.5 People are more likely to follow someone who is confident she’s going in the right direction. Another trait that may indicate effective leadership is emotional intelligence (EI), discussed in Chapter 4. Advocates of EI argue that without it, a person can have outstanding training, a highly analytical mind, a compelling vision, and an endless supply of terrific ideas but still not make a ...
A Literature Review On Leadership Styles And ConflictJeff Brooks
This document provides an overview of a literature review on leadership styles and conflict. It discusses different leadership styles that have emerged over time based on a review of research articles and books. The key leadership styles mentioned are transformational and transactional leadership. Transformational leadership views leadership as a shared process that can transform individuals and organizations to greater heights. The document also discusses the evolution of leadership theories from the great man theory to more modern theories like transformational leadership. It provides context on behavioral and trait-based leadership theories from previous decades.
Theories of leadership in leadership and team buildingTushar Agarwal
The document discusses several theories of leadership, including:
- The Great Man theory, which proposes that leadership effectiveness is determined by innate qualities of the leader. It focuses on identifying traits of historical leaders but has been criticized.
- Trait theories, which emerged from Great Man theory and suggest leaders possess stable traits like intelligence and charisma. However, research finds no universal trait predictors of leadership success.
- Behavioral theories like the Ohio State and Michigan studies, which evaluate leaders based on behaviors and found consideration of people and task focus are important. Contingency theory also emphasizes the importance of situational factors.
This chapter discusses theories of leadership including trait theories, behavioral theories, charismatic and transformational leadership, authentic leadership, and the role of trust. It contrasts leadership with management, outlines key traits of effective leaders, and examines how leadership can be developed through mentoring. The chapter aims to help readers understand different perspectives on leadership and how organizations can cultivate effective leaders.
The document discusses various theories of management and leadership. It describes trait theory, which proposes that effective leaders are born with certain traits. Behavioral theories are discussed, including studies at Ohio State University that identified consideration for employees and focus on tasks as key leadership behaviors. The University of Michigan studies classified behaviors as employee-oriented or production-oriented. Blake and Mouton's managerial grid plots concern for tasks versus people to define leadership styles. Contingency theory proposes there is no single best leadership style and the most effective style depends on the situation.
This document summarizes several theories of leadership, including:
1. Trait theories like the Great Man Theory propose that leaders are born with certain inherent qualities and traits. However, later researchers found little agreement on defining traits.
2. Behavioral theories like the Ohio State and University of Michigan studies identified specific leader behaviors like consideration, initiating structure, and production orientation that effectively lead to outcomes.
3. Contingency theories propose that effective leadership depends on matching a leader's style to the situation, like the Fiedler Model and Path-Goal Theory. Overall, the document reviews several prominent leadership theories and some of their limitations.

WHAT IS LEADERSHIP
The first thing that we must do is to differentiate between the role of leadership and the functions
of leadership. The role of leadership refers to a position of authority in some organizational
hierarchy, while the function of leadership refers to the activities and processes that move a
group or organization towards the accomplishment of its goals. Many people think of leadership
has something that the formal leader does. However, leadership can be viewed is any act by any
group member that advances the effectiveness of the group. For groups to be effective, it is
generally believed that four functions must be performed, that is, four things must happen:
In some cases, the former leader performs all these functions. However, in most organizations
these functions are performed by a variety of people, structural mechanisms, and cultural
mechanisms. The role of leadership becomes more important in determining the effectiveness of
the group when other mechanisms fail to fulfill these functional imperatives.
LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS AND HOW IS IT ASSESSED
Returning to the above discussion of leadership as the acts of the formal authority figure or
leadership as the mechanism to perform certain functions, we must distinguish between the
effectiveness of \"leadership\" and the effectiveness of an individual would referred to as the
leader. There is the conceptual question of what is leadership effectiveness and the practical
question of how do we evaluate individuals in leadership roles. The application question is: Is
Joe Torres an effective coach? Is Jack Welch an effective CEO? From the practical perspective,
the issues get very blurred depending upon who is doing the evaluation and the purpose of the
evaluation.
Ways In Which Leader Effectiveness Is Evaluated
Leaders are constantly been evaluated by organizational members, superiors, and the public.
There are four basic ways in which these groups evaluate the effectiveness of a leader.
Sometimes a particular group will use different approaches at different times. There is no one
best way or most appropriate way to evaluate a leader. The appropriate approach depends upon
the purpose to which the evaluation is to be used. Among the many reasons to evaluate a leader
are to determine whether leader should remain in the position, to help the leader develop his or
her leadership skills, and to improve the performance of a group. Listed below are the four
fundamental approaches used to evaluate leaders
Three variants of the normative process or mental model approach uses characteristics of the
leader as a metric of leader effectiveness. These characteristics can be viewed as predictors of
leadership success. The stronger the mental model supporting the relationship between these
characteristics a.

Lesson Four: Leadership Behaviors and their Ethical Implications
Lesson Three discussed three of the most prominent ethical theories, as well as their application to The Trolley Problem in order to assess relative consequences. Lesson Four will introduce some of the most prominent behavioral theories concerning leadership as well as their ethical implications.
Behavioral Theories
In Lesson Two, we discussed some of the early leadership research, which attempted to identify qualities that were always associated with effective leaders, and which were largely unsuccessful. However, subsequent to these efforts, researchers in the field then turned their focus to the types of behaviors that leaders exhibit, hoping that this work might reveal some patterns of successful perspectives, habits, etc. These studies were conducted at some of the finest universities across the country, and while there were some very general similarities in the results of many of the major studies, the implications varied from case to case. We will now examine each of these studies in greater detail in order to understand their findings and implications.
One brief preface is helpful here. The studies discussed below each varied in their research parameters, methodology, and findings. However, one factor that was fairly consistent throughout was the way in which leadership efficacy was defined. Generally, the studies discussed herein looked at leadership effectiveness with respect to two metrics: performance, or the productivity of the teams investigated in terms of the work they do (quality and quantity), and satisfaction, or the degree to which teams were happy performing work under their respective leaders. This is not an uncommon way of measuring efficacy (Judge, Thoresen, Bono, & Patton, 2001), and it goes without saying that both of these factors are quite relevant. Teams must be able to produce at an acceptable level, but if they aren’t also content with the circumstances of their work, then such teams aren’t likely to sustain performance for any extended period of time.
· University of Iowa Studies: One set of studies were conducted by researchers at the University of Iowa. The results of these studies concluded that all leaders adopted one of three different leadership styles: Autocratic, Democratic, and Laissez-Faire (Rafiq Awan & Mahmood, 2010). Autocratic leaders, as the name suggests, run their operations like dictators, making decisions unilaterally and seeking very little input or participation from followers. Democratic leaders, by contrast, adopt a very participative style of leadership, involving followers in all major decisions, either through a ‘notice and comment’ style dialogue before decisions are rendered, or through an informal voting-style procedure. Finally, “Laissez-Faire” is a French term that means to “let do” or to “let be”. It is commonly used in the phrase “Laissez-Faire Capitalism” to describe the American-style economy where governmen ...

Evaluation
Leadership style assessments certainly have a place within the organization. The effectiveness of a leadership style assessment will depend on what type of assessment and what the organizational needs are. Multi-source feedback assessments are supposed to give a 360 degree look at a leader and give the organization a valuable outcome in the evaluation of the leader (MacKie, 2015). Using multi-source feedback assessments can be extremely beneficial as long as the assessment is properly paired with the organizational goals and needs. Assessing a leader from multi perspectives is truly a holistic approach. But, organizations need to recognize that no leadership style assessment is not without its limitations.
Next, the behavior approach is one of four approaches to leadership. Three of which all have weaknesses; traits, skills, and behavior. But the fourth approach to leadership, the situational approach demonstrates the flexibility of a leader (Northouse2016, 2016). In today’s dynamic and complex business environment, flexible leaders bring the most value to an organization. The situational approach allows the leader to apply the other three approaches given the circumstances. As an Army leader I found this approach to be extremely effective while leading in combat and non-combat situations.
Explanation of Usefulness
Of equal importance is the usefulness leadership style assessments and the behavior approach have on an organization. Once an organization has clearly defined the goals and purpose of conducting an assessment, and then subsequently the correct assessment is used, the results will certainly help the organization. In this case, using an assessment to evaluate the benefits of a behavior approach to leadership will allow the organization to determine what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and how fast it needs to be done (Saxena, 2014). Additionally, the behavior approach (if the relationship behavior is used), can give subordinates the motivation needed to achieve the desired outcome through a better understanding of themselves.
Explanation of Impact
The impact of leadership assessments on an individual can be positive or negative. Again, this directly correlates to the goals and expectations of the organization when the assessment is implemented. For the individual, it could potentially identify strengths and weaknesses. Thus, giving the individual the opportunity to grow and learn from the assessment. Simultaneously, the organization discovers how these strengths and weaknesses fit into the organization’s goals. Once they have identified where and how an individual nest into the organization, a holistic approach to achieving those goals can be developed (Northouse2016, 2016). In comparison, using a behavior approach assessment will yield valuable information about subordinates’ behavior patterns. Which equates to the organization knowing and understanding their employees. Understanding behavio.
The document discusses various perspectives on the definition of leadership over time. It explores whether leadership is a trait, a skill set, a situational factor, or some combination. The document also examines different theories of leadership, including trait theories, skills models, situational leadership, transformational leadership, and the influence of gender and culture on leadership.

Knowledge does not exist in a vacuum; it has to be obtained from somewhere. Therefore a given work becomes only useful in comparison with other people’s work. This calls for the establishment of what the research study published in connection with the works of other researchers to analyze the development of the subject matter. This paper will present a critical review of the literature that was done in regard to the research questions about leadership. The objective of this literature review is to define leadership and to explain the roles and qualities of good leaders as backed up by scholarly documentation.

CRITICAL REVIEW
The study will apply the deductive approach in critically reviewing the literature. The approach helps to identify theories and ideas to be used in testing and to develop a conceptual framework for testing the data.
According to James Macgregor (2003) leadership contribute quite much to civilization due to their transformative capabilities. Leaders are not just solvers of problems, but they are the people who can help the society move from one level to another through motivation and morality. Some documents on leadership have suggested that leaders are the people who not only ensure that they do things right but also they are seen doing the right thing. In this regard, which type of leaders would be perceived as doing what is right? This question could bring in some answers with a lot of variations in them, but one thing for sure that will be common is that leaders have one personality trait in them, a passion for leading, though different leaders use different styles to lead. There isn't a dearth of experts in the field of leadership or even sophistication of approaches, but still, there is no consensus on which leadership style is the most effective. As much as individual leadership styles do matter, leadership effectiveness is increasingly believed to be dependent on context and situational factors in which those particular leaders work. Research conducted on 160 CEOs justified that leadership is dependent not so much on what a person is like on the inside but by what the demands of the outside are. Considering temporal changes is essential in dynamics and patterns of leadership behaviors of the task they undertake when conceptualizing their styles effectiveness.

Organizational Leadership Versus Tactical Leadership EssayJessica Finson
The document discusses how leadership styles may affect organizational leadership. It notes that an effective leader influences followers to achieve goals, and that different leadership styles may be a stronger predictor of organizational performance depending on the culture. It also states that organizational culture is influenced by leadership style, which then affects organizational performance. Leadership is important for businesses to ensure smooth operations.
The document discusses several theories and models of leadership. It defines leadership as a complex process involving multiple dimensions including group processes, personality, behavior, and power. It also discusses the differences between leadership and management, with leadership focusing on change and movement while management focuses on order and stability. Several leadership theories and models are examined, including trait theory, which focuses on identifying personality characteristics of leaders, and style approach, which integrates task and relationship behaviors of leaders.
This document discusses leadership, including definitions, styles, theories, and functions. It defines leadership as guiding people or activities, and outlines styles such as autocratic, democratic, and free rein. Two theories are explained: trait theory, which examines distinguishing traits of leaders, and behavioral theory, which studies what effective leaders do. Behavioral research identified two dimensions of leadership behavior: initiating structure, how leaders define roles to achieve goals, and consideration, the degree of trust and concern for subordinates. The Ohio State studies considered these two dimensions as independent behaviors that leaders can demonstrate at varying levels.
People’S Beliefs On How Individuals Become Leaders AffectMiles Priar
1. Early leadership theories focused on distinguishing innate qualities between leaders and followers, while more recent theories emphasize that leadership skills can be learned and developed through training and experience.
2. Great leaders are often described as having innate characteristics like charisma, confidence, intelligence and social skills. However, other theories posit that leaders are made, not born, and that leadership abilities can be developed through teaching and observation.
3. Modern theories have identified important leadership qualities like vision, communication skills, ability to motivate and inspire followers, adaptability to different situations, and learning from experiences. The most effective leadership style

the key point
Not all managers are leaders and not all leaders are managers. In a managerial position, being a
leader requires understanding how to adapt one’s management style to the situation to generate
willing and effective followership. As shown in the Zappos example, the most successful leaders are
those who are able to generate strong cultures in which employees work together to get things done.

292 13 Leadership Essentials
Most people assume that anyone in management, particularly the CEO, is a leader.
Currently, however, controversy has arisen over this assumption. We can all think
of examples where managers do not perform much, if any, leadership, as well as
instances where leadership is performed by people who are not in management.
Researchers have even argued that failure to clearly recognize this difference is a
violation of “truth in advertising” because many studies labeled “leadership” may
actually be about “management.”1
Managers versus Leaders
A key way of differentiating between managers and leaders is to argue that the
role of management is to promote stability or to enable the organization to run
smoothly, whereas the role of leadership is to promote adaptive or useful
changes.2 Persons in managerial positions could be involved with both manage-
ment and leadership activities, or they could emphasize one activity at the
expense of the other. Both management and leadership are needed, however,
and if managers do not assume responsibility for both, then they should ensure
that someone else handles the neglected activity. The point is that when we dis-
cuss leadership, we do not assume it is identical to management.
For our purposes, we treat leadership as the process of infl uencing others
to understand and agree about what needs to be done and how to do it, and the
process of facilitating individual and collective efforts to accomplish shared objec-
tives.3 Leadership appears in two forms: (1) formal leadership, which is exerted
by persons appointed or elected to positions of formal authority in organizations,
and (2) informal leadership, which is exerted by persons who become infl uential
because they have special skills that meet the needs of others. Although both
types are important in organizations, this chapter will emphasize forma ...

For our purposes, we treat leadership as the process of infl uencing others
to understand and agree about what needs to be done and how to do it, and the
process of facilitating individual and collective efforts to accomplish shared objec-

by persons appointed or elected to positions of formal authority in organizations,
and (2) informal leadership, which is exerted by persons who become infl uential
because they have special skills that meet the needs of others. Although both
types are important in organizations, this chapter will emphasize forma.

Evaluation
Leadership style assessments certainly have a place within the organization. The effectiveness of a leadership style assessment will depend on what type of assessment and what the organizational needs are. Multi-source feedback assessments are supposed to give a 360 degree look at a leader and give the organization a valuable outcome in the evaluation of the leader (MacKie, 2015). Using multi-source feedback assessments can be extremely beneficial as long as the assessment is properly paired with the organizational goals and needs. Assessing a leader from multi perspectives is truly a holistic approach. But, organizations need to recognize that no leadership style assessment is not without its limitations.
Next, the behavior approach is one of four approaches to leadership. Three of which all have weaknesses; traits, skills, and behavior. But the fourth approach to leadership, the situational approach demonstrates the flexibility of a leader (Northouse2016, 2016). In today’s dynamic and complex business environment, flexible leaders bring the most value to an organization. The situational approach allows the leader to apply the other three approaches given the circumstances. As an Army leader I found this approach to be extremely effective while leading in combat and non-combat situations.
Explanation of Usefulness
Of equal importance is the usefulness leadership style assessments and the behavior approach have on an organization. Once an organization has clearly defined the goals and purpose of conducting an assessment, and then subsequently the correct assessment is used, the results will certainly help the organization. In this case, using an assessment to evaluate the benefits of a behavior approach to leadership will allow the organization to determine what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and how fast it needs to be done (Saxena, 2014). Additionally, the behavior approach (if the relationship behavior is used), can give subordinates the motivation needed to achieve the desired outcome through a better understanding of themselves.
Explanation of Impact
The impact of leadership assessments on an individual can be positive or negative. Again, this directly correlates to the goals and expectations of the organization when the assessment is implemented. For the individual, it could potentially identify strengths and weaknesses. Thus, giving the individual the opportunity to grow and learn from the assessment. Simultaneously, the organization discovers how these strengths and weaknesses fit into the organization’s goals. Once they have identified where and how an individual nest into the organization, a holistic approach to achieving those goals can be developed (Northouse2016, 2016). In comparison, using a behavior approach assessment will yield valuable information about subordinates’ behavior patterns. Which equates to the organization knowing and understanding their employees. Understanding behavio.

Knowledge does not exist in a vacuum; it has to be obtained from somewhere. Therefore a given work becomes only useful in comparison with other people’s work. This calls for the establishment of what the research study published in connection with the works of other researchers to analyze the development of the subject matter. This paper will present a critical review of the literature that was done in regard to the research questions about leadership. The objective of this literature review is to define leadership and to explain the roles and qualities of good leaders as backed up by scholarly documentation.

CRITICAL REVIEW
The study will apply the deductive approach in critically reviewing the literature. The approach helps to identify theories and ideas to be used in testing and to develop a conceptual framework for testing the data.
According to James Macgregor (2003) leadership contribute quite much to civilization due to their transformative capabilities. Leaders are not just solvers of problems, but they are the people who can help the society move from one level to another through motivation and morality. Some documents on leadership have suggested that leaders are the people who not only ensure that they do things right but also they are seen doing the right thing. In this regard, which type of leaders would be perceived as doing what is right? This question could bring in some answers with a lot of variations in them, but one thing for sure that will be common is that leaders have one personality trait in them, a passion for leading, though different leaders use different styles to lead. There isn't a dearth of experts in the field of leadership or even sophistication of approaches, but still, there is no consensus on which leadership style is the most effective. As much as individual leadership styles do matter, leadership effectiveness is increasingly believed to be dependent on context and situational factors in which those particular leaders work. Research conducted on 160 CEOs justified that leadership is dependent not so much on what a person is like on the inside but by what the demands of the outside are. Considering temporal changes is essential in dynamics and patterns of leadership behaviors of the task they undertake when conceptualizing their styles effectiveness.

Organizational Leadership Versus Tactical Leadership EssayJessica Finson
The document discusses how leadership styles may affect organizational leadership. It notes that an effective leader influences followers to achieve goals, and that different leadership styles may be a stronger predictor of organizational performance depending on the culture. It also states that organizational culture is influenced by leadership style, which then affects organizational performance. Leadership is important for businesses to ensure smooth operations.
The document discusses several theories and models of leadership. It defines leadership as a complex process involving multiple dimensions including group processes, personality, behavior, and power. It also discusses the differences between leadership and management, with leadership focusing on change and movement while management focuses on order and stability. Several leadership theories and models are examined, including trait theory, which focuses on identifying personality characteristics of leaders, and style approach, which integrates task and relationship behaviors of leaders.
This document discusses leadership, including definitions, styles, theories, and functions. It defines leadership as guiding people or activities, and outlines styles such as autocratic, democratic, and free rein. Two theories are explained: trait theory, which examines distinguishing traits of leaders, and behavioral theory, which studies what effective leaders do. Behavioral research identified two dimensions of leadership behavior: initiating structure, how leaders define roles to achieve goals, and consideration, the degree of trust and concern for subordinates. The Ohio State studies considered these two dimensions as independent behaviors that leaders can demonstrate at varying levels.

292 13 Leadership Essentials
Most people assume that anyone in management, particularly the CEO, is a leader.
Currently, however, controversy has arisen over this assumption. We can all think
of examples where managers do not perform much, if any, leadership, as well as
instances where leadership is performed by people who are not in management.
Researchers have even argued that failure to clearly recognize this difference is a
violation of “truth in advertising” because many studies labeled “leadership” may
actually be about “management.”1
Managers versus Leaders
A key way of differentiating between managers and leaders is to argue that the
role of management is to promote stability or to enable the organization to run
smoothly, whereas the role of leadership is to promote adaptive or useful
changes.2 Persons in managerial positions could be involved with both manage-
ment and leadership activities, or they could emphasize one activity at the
expense of the other. Both management and leadership are needed, however,
and if managers do not assume responsibility for both, then they should ensure
that someone else handles the neglected activity. The point is that when we dis-
cuss leadership, we do not assume it is identical to management.
For our purposes, we treat leadership as the process of infl uencing others
to understand and agree about what needs to be done and how to do it, and the
process of facilitating individual and collective efforts to accomplish shared objec-
tives.3 Leadership appears in two forms: (1) formal leadership, which is exerted
by persons appointed or elected to positions of formal authority in organizations,
and (2) informal leadership, which is exerted by persons who become infl uential

Evolution or change over time occurs through the processes of natura.docxturveycharlyn
Evolution or change over time occurs through the processes of natural and sexual selection. In response to problems in our environment, we adapt both physically and psychologically to ensure our survival and reproduction. Sexual selection theory describes how evolution has shaped us to provide a mating advantage rather than just a survival advantage and occurs through two distinct pathways: intrasexual competition and intersexual selection. Gene selection theory, the modern explanation behind evolutionary biology, occurs through the desire for gene replication. Evolutionary psychology connects evolutionary principles with modern psychology and focuses primarily on psychological adaptations: changes in the way we think in order to improve our survival. Two major evolutionary psychological theories are described: Sexual strategies theory describes the psychology of human mating strategies and the ways in which women and men differ in those strategies. Error management theory describes the evolution of biases in the way we think about everything. Learning Objectives • Learn what “evolution” means. • Define the primary mechanisms by which evolution takes place. • Identify the two major classes of adaptations. • Define sexual selection and its two primary processes. • Define gene selection theory. • Understand psychological adaptations. • Identify the core premises of sexual strategies theory. • Identify the core premises of error management theory, and provide two empirical examples of adaptive cognitive biases. Introduction If you have ever been on a first date, you’re probably familiar with the anxiety of trying to figure out what clothes to wear or what perfume or cologne to put on. In fact, you may even consider flossing your teeth for the first time all year. When considering why you put in all this work, you probably recognize that you’re doing it to impress the other person. But how did you learn these particular behaviors? Where did you get the idea that a first date should be at a nice restaurant or someplace unique? It is possible that we have been taught these behaviors by observing others. It is also possible, however, that these behaviors— the fancy clothes, the expensive restaurant —are biologically programmed into us. That is, just as peacocks display their feathers to show how attractive they are, or some lizards do push-ups to show how strong they are, when we style our hair or bring a gift to a date, we’re trying to communicate to the other person: “Hey, I’m a good mate! Choose me! Choose me!" However, we all know that our ancestors hundreds of thousands of years ago weren’t driving sports cars or wearing designer clothes to attract mates. So how could someone ever say that such behaviors are “biologically programmed” into us? Well, even though our ancestors might not have been doing these specific actions, these behaviors are the result of the same driving force: the powerful influence of evolution. Yes, evolution—certain trait.

Evolution, Religion, and Intelligent Design
Many people mistakenly believe that a belief in evolution precludes a belief in God or intelligent design; in other words, some people falsely think that one must be an atheist or agnostic to believe in evolution and the Big Bang. The Catholic Church is one example of a religious institution that has long held the view that evolution and the Big Bang explain ‘how we got here.’ Read the below article from the
Catholic Herald
, and then answer the following questions: Why do you think so many people are mistaken about the ability to believe in God as well as evolution and the Big Bang? Do you find anything problematic about combining religious and scientific explanations of the universe? Explain.
NB: In this discussion, students often misuse the word ‘theory’, saying things such as “the Big Bang/evolution are ‘just’ theories.” But to say this is a misuse of the word 'theory' as it applies to scientific theory. Many people misunderstand the word as it is used in the realm of science, thinking it to mean a guess, a hypothetical, untested idea. However, in science, 'theory' means something different. Please read the article below:
"Just a Theory": 7 Misused Science Words - Scientific American
Article from the
Catholic Herald
By Patrick Cusworth October 31, 2014
Pope Francis's comments on the Big Bang are not revolutionary. Catholic teaching has long professed the likelihood of human evolution
Perhaps it was inevitable that Pope Francis’ comments on the Church’s position on scientific theories such as the Big Bang and evolution would cause a stir. In his address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Pope cautioned against the image of God the creator as “a magician, with a magic wand”, arguing that belief in both theories around the beginnings of the universe and the birth of humankind are consistent with the Catholic faith.
“The Big Bang, which is today posited as the origin of the world, does not contradict the divine act of creation; rather, it requires it”, he stated. Similarly, he argued, “evolution of nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation because evolution pre-supposes the creation of beings which evolve.”
Yet despite further murmurings that Pope Francis was beginning (yet another) revolution in Catholic doctrine, it must be pointed out – the Pope’s declaration on either theory has not broken with established Catholic belief in the slightest.
The Big Bang theory, originally hypothesised in 1927 by Jesuit priest and physicist Georges Lemaître, is based on the central proposition that the universe is continually expanding. As a preposition, the universe was originally contained within a single point, in a highly intense state of heat and density. As the universe began to expand it cooled, allowing the formation of subatomic particles, which began a series of physical cosmological processes, which led eventually to the known universe. While this has become the most co.

Chapter Outline
1. Discovering How Populations Change
2. Mechanisms of Evolution
3. Evidence of Evolution
4. Speciation
5. Common Misconceptions about Evolution
Introduction
All species of living organisms—from the bacteria on our skin, to the trees in our yards, to the birds outside—evolved at some point from a different species. Although it may seem that living things today stay much the same from generation to generation, that is not the case: evolution is ongoing. Evolution is the process through which the characteristics of species change and through which new species arise.
The theory of evolution is the unifying theory of biology, meaning it is the framework within which biologists ask questions about the living world. Its power is that it provides direction for predictions about living things that are borne out in experiment after experiment. The Ukrainian-born American geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky famously wrote that "nothing makes sense in biology except in the light of evolution" (Dobzhansky 1964, 449). He meant that the principle that all life has evolved and diversified from a common ancestor is the foundation from which we understand all other questions in biology. This chapter will explain some of the mechanisms for evolutionary change and the kinds of questions that biologists can and have answered using evolutionary theory.
Discovering How Populations Change
By the end of this section, you will bbe able to:
· Explain how Darwin’s theory of evolution differed from the current view at the time.
· Describe how the present-day theory of evolution was developed.
· Describe how population genetics is used to study the evolution of populations
The theory of evolution by natural selection describes a mechanism for species change over time. That species change had been suggested and debated well before Darwin. The view that species were static and unchanging was grounded in the writings of Plato, yet there were also ancient Greeks that expressed evolutionary ideas.
In the eighteenth century, ideas about the evolution of animals were reintroduced by the naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon and even by Charles Darwin’s grandfather, Erasmus Darwin. During this time, it was also accepted that there were extinct species. At the same time, James Hutton, the Scottish naturalist, proposed that geological change occurred gradually by the accumulation of small changes from pr.

TRAIT THEORIES Throughout history, strong leaders—Buddha, Napoléon.docx
1. TRAIT THEORIES Throughout history, strong leaders—
Buddha, Napoléon, Mao, Churchill, Roosevelt, Reagan—have
been described in terms of their traits. Trait theories of
leadership thus focus on personal qualities and characteristics.
We recognize leaders like South Africa’s Nelson Mandela,
Virgin Group CEO Richard Branson, Apple co-founder Steve
Jobs, and American Express Chairman Ken Chenault as
charismatic, enthusiastic, and courageous. The search for
personality, social, physical, or intellectual attributes that
differentiate leaders from non-leaders goes back to the earliest
stages of leadership research. Early research efforts to isolate
leadership traits resulted in a number of dead ends. A review in
the late 1960s of 20 different studies identified nearly 80
leadership traits, but only five were common to four or more of
the investigations. By the 1990s, after numerous studies and
analyses, about the best we could say was that most leaders “are
not like other people,” but the particular traits that
characterized them varied a great deal from review to review. It
was a confusing state of affairs. A breakthrough, of sorts, came
when researchers began organizing traits around the Big Five
personality (ambition and energy are part of extraversion, for
instance), giving strong support to traits as predictors of
leadership. A comprehensive review of the leadership literature,
when organized around the Big Five, has found extraversion to
be the most important trait of effective leaders, but it is more
strongly related to the way leaders emerge than to their
effectiveness. Sociable and dominant people are more likely to
assert themselves in group situations, but leaders need to make
sure they’re not too assertive—one study found leaders who
scored very high on assertiveness were less effective than those
who scored moderately high. Unlike agreeableness and
emotional stability, conscientiousness and openness to
experience also showed strong relationships to leadership,
though not quite as strong as extraversion. Overall, the trait
2. approach does have something to offer. Leaders who like being
around people and are able to assert themselves (extraverted),
who are disciplined and able to keep commitments they make
(conscientious), and who are creative and flexible (open) do
have an apparent advantage when it comes to leadership,
suggesting good leaders do have key traits in common. One
reason is that conscientiousness and extraversion are positively
related to leaders’ self-efficacy, which explained most of the
variance in subordinates’ ratings of leader performance.5
People are more likely to follow someone who is confident
she’s going in the right direction. Another trait that may
indicate effective leadership is emotional intelligence (EI),
discussed in Chapter 4. Advocates of EI argue that without it, a
person can have outstanding training, a highly analytical mind,
a compelling vision, and an endless supply of terrific ideas but
still not make a great leader. This may be especially true as
individuals move up in an organization. Why is EI so critical to
effective leadership? A core component of EI is empathy.
Empathetic leaders can sense others’ needs, listen to what
followers say (and don’t say), and read the reactions of others.
A leader who effectively displays and manages emotions will
find it easier to influence the feelings of followers, by both
expressing genuine sympathy and enthusiasm for good
performance and by using irritation for those who fail to
perform. The link between EI and leadership effectiveness may
be worth investigating in greater detail.8Some recent research
has demonstrated that people high in EI are more likely to
emerge as leaders, even after taking cognitive ability and
personality into account, which helps to answer some of the
most significant criticisms of this research. Based on the latest
findings, we offer two conclusions. First, contrary to what we
believed 20 years ago and thanks to the Big Five, we can say
that traits can predict leadership. Second, traits do a better job
predicting the emergence of leaders and the appearance of
leadership than actually distinguishing between effective and
ineffective leaders. The fact that an individual exhibits the traits
3. and that others consider her a leader does not necessarily mean
the leader is successful at getting the group to achieve its goals.
BEHAVIORAL THEORIES The failures of early trait studies
led researchers in the late 1940s through the 1960s to wonder
whether there was something unique in the way effective
leaders behave. Trait research provides a basis for selecting the
right people for leadership. In contrast, behavioral theories of
leadership implied we could train people to be leaders. The
most comprehensive theories resulted from the Ohio State
Studies in the late 1940s,11 which sought to identify
independent dimensions of leader behavior. Beginning with
more than a thousand dimensions, the studies narrowed the list
to two that substantially accounted for most of the leadership
behavior described by employees: initiating structure and
consideration. Initiating structure is the extent to which a leader
is likely to define and structure her role and those of employees
in the search for goal attainment. It includes behavior that
attempts to organize work, work relationships, and goals. A
leader high in initiating structure is someone who “assigns
group members to particular tasks,” “expects workers to
maintain definite standards of performance,” and “emphasizes
the meeting of deadlines.” Consideration is the extent to which
a person’s job relationships are characterized by mutual trust,
respect for employees’ ideas, and regard for their feelings. A
leader high in consideration helps employees with personal
problems, is friendly and approachable, treats all employees as
equals, and expresses appreciation and support. In a recent
survey, when asked to indicate what most motivated them at
work, 66 percent of employees mentioned appreciation.
Leadership studies at the University of Michigan’s Survey
Research Center had similar objectives: to locate behavioral
characteristics of leaders that appeared related to performance
effectiveness. The Michigan group also came up with two
behavioral dimensions: the employee-oriented leader
emphasized interpersonal relationships by taking a personal
interest in the needs of employees and accepting individual
4. differences among them, and the production-oriented leader
emphasized the technical or task aspects of the job, focusing on
accomplishing the group’s tasks. These dimensions are closely
related to the Ohio State dimensions. Employee-oriented
leadership is similar to consideration, and production-oriented
leadership is similar to initiating structure. In fact, most
leadership researchers use the terms synonymously. At one
time, the results of testing behavioral theories were thought to
be disappointing. However, a more recent review of 160 studies
found the followers of leaders high in consideration were more
satisfied with their jobs, were more motivated, and had more
respect for their leader. Initiating structure was more strongly
related to higher levels of group and organization productivity
and more positive performance evaluations. Some research from
the GLOBE program, a study on cultural values (that also
focused on cultural differences in leadership) we mentioned in
Chapter 5, suggests there are international differences in
preference for initiating structure and consideration. Based on
the values of Brazilian employees, a U.S. manager leading a
team in Brazil would need to be team oriented, participative,
and humane. Leaders high in consideration would succeed best
in this culture. As one Brazilian manager said in the GLOBE
study, “We do not prefer leaders who take self-governing
decisions and act alone without engaging the group. That’s part
of who we are.” Compared to U.S. employees, the French have a
more bureaucratic view of leaders and are less likely to expect
them to be humane and considerate. A leader high in initiating
structure (relatively task oriented) will do best and can make
decisions in a relatively autocratic manner. A manager who
scores high on consideration (people oriented) may find that
style backfiring in France. According to the GLOBE study,
Chinese culture emphasizes being polite, considerate, and
unselfish, but it also has a high- performance orientation. Thus,
consideration and initiating structure may both be important.
Summary of Trait Theories and Behavioral Theories Leaders
who have certain traits and who display consideration and
5. structuring behaviors do appear to be more effective. Perhaps
you’re wondering whether conscientious leaders (trait) are more
likely to be structuring (behavior) and extraverted leaders (trait)
to be considerate (behavior). Unfortunately, we can’t be sure
there is a connection. Future research is needed to integrate
these approaches. Some leaders may have the right traits or
display the right behaviors and still fail. As important as traits
and behaviors are in identifying effective or ineffective leaders,
they do not guarantee success. The context matters, too.

Introduction
To mark the very beginning of early (or better: classical)
human leadership thinking, evolving from the animal
origins of social organization and leadership
12
, it takes us
back a long way into history. Plato
129
7. (428/427-348/347),
the scholar and philosopher of ancient Greece, inspired by
his truth seeking teacher Socrates (470-399 B.C.),
originates three types of leadership which he specified as
the rule of reason, the rule of desire and the rule of spirit.
These three forms, which Plato develops in his work The
Republic (here used: translated edition of 1945, esp. 175-
308), focus on different types of leaders. The rule of reason
makes the philosophers become kings in an ideal state and
impose the obligation to rule under the maxim of
righteousness and ethical excellence, performing political
power by virtue and correctness which Plato refers to as the
term arete.
The characteristic of righteousness of the philosopher
king
12
is greatly influenced by Socrates, who has not
bequeathed any scriptures. Plato considers his teacher to be
8. the most righteous man of all. The rule of desire depicts a
characteristic of political rule which Plato explicitly denies,
because it breeds tyranny, despotism and totalitarianism,
which was later personified by Adolf Hitler (1889-1945)
79
.
The rule of spirit finally marks the beginning of military
leadership, as it illustrates courage, loyalty and honor and
refers to generals as leaders and to the conduct of war.
Aristotle
4
(384-322 B.C.), Plato’s student, criticizes The
Republic in his works The Politics for its general and
idealistic approach and states more practical theses, such as
those on hierarchy. Hierarchical orders are on the one hand
still valid today as most of the companies adhere to that but
on the other hand Aristotle’s views are judged to be
anachronistic e.g. his slaves-by-nature perspective that
regards the woman to be naturally destined to be ruled by
9. the man. He mitigates this extreme view through his
Golden Mean approach, changing the servant role of
women to that of loving wives and mothers which still
remains obsolete in modern liberate societies.
In his work The Prince (here used: translated edition of
1961) the Italian writer and political theorist Niccolò
Machiavelli
106
(1468-1527) challenges the imagination of
an idealistic state and promotes a leader ruling by law and
by force concluding that a king (he literally refers to the
prince) should be rather feared than loved. While e.g. the
leadership of the warlord Attila the Hun (unknown-453)
practically aims at conquering other realms
139
, Machiavelli
(in his political writings) aims at unifying a king’s realm. In
his work the ultimate pragmatist
12
10. breaks with ancient
Greek scholasticism, medieval religious doctrines and also
with the utopian ideals of his contemporary, Saint Thomas
More (1478-1535), when Machiavelli promotes his ideas
on realism and calls for a prince using radical means to
achieve his personal ambition of glory and honor, even if
these means lead to immoral actions. Napoleon I of France
(1769-1821) is deeply inspired by The Prince as he makes
detailed commentaries on this work considering the art of
war
113
.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831), the German
Philosopher and precursor of Marxism, states that the
essential prerequisite for effective leadership is to make the
experience of being a follower before becoming a leader
12
.
He highlights the relation between the leader and the led.
11. The historical subject of leadership is neither limited to
philosophical or political theorists nor can it be reduced to
the strategy of warfare, but it also enters classical literature.
One representative also portraying the situational
dependence of the relation between leader and follower
according to Hegel is the 1895 published story Master and
Man of the Russian novelist and social reformer Lev N.
Tolstoy
163
(1828-1910). Ahead of his time, he anticipates
the contextual relevance for performing leadership and as a
pacifist he is credited by Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) to
be the key influence of the nonviolent leader
68
. Max
Weber
172
, the German sociologist and economist,
12. Advances In Management Vol. 7(5) May (2014)
53
distinguished three pure types of domination in his work
Economy and Society (1922; published posthumously),
namely the legal, the traditional and the charismatic
authority. According to Weber, political leaders are
legitimated by at least one of these ideal types to justify
their dominion over the led
17
. Commands are accepted and
produce obedience if they rest on legal enactment, if they
emerge out of immutable custom or if they are issued by
heroic, extraordinary leaders
39,164
.
Modern leadership approaches and theories
What is leadership? : The categorization of recent theories
on leadership and, finally, the author’s own empirical study
on leadership styles require an agreed-upon answer to the
13. question: What is leadership? As the historical
fundamentals show, the roots of the concept reach far
beyond, but the literal term leader “only” goes back to the
1300s
127
, the expression leadership exists since the late
1700s
159
. As myriads of researches on that issue exist,
almost the same number of definitions has emerged over
time
170
. Different scholars prefer different terminological
specifications. This may lead to further clarification and
may provide an acceptable answer to the above question.
Leadership
“… is the preeminence of one individual in a group in the
process of control.” (Mumford)
122
14. “… is the centralization of effort in one person.”
(Blackmar)
22
“… focuses the attention of group members into the desired
direction.” (Bernard)
20
“… is the art of influencing.” (Copeland)
40
“… consists of a relationship between an individual and a
group.” (Knickerbocker)
89
“… is the process of influencing the activities of an
organized group in its effort toward goal setting and goal
achievement.“ (Stogdill)
157
“… induces a subordinate to behave in a desired manner.”
(Bennis)
15. 18
“… is an individual’s effort to change the behavior of
others.” (Bass)
9
“… is interpersonal influence (…) toward the attainment of
a specified goal or goals.” (Tannenbaum)
162
“… is an influential increment over and above compliance
with the routine directives of the organization.” (Katz and
Kahn)
84
“… transforms followers, creates visions of the goals that
may be attained and articulates for the followers ways to
attain those goals. “Leadership persons mobilize resources
to arouse, engage and satisfy the motives of followers.
(Burns)
35
16. “… is a form of social influence.” (Pondy)
133
“… is an interaction and leaders are agents of change
whose acts affect other people more than people’s acts
affect them.” (Bass)
13
“… is the ability to start evolutionary change processes that
are more adaptive.” (Schein)
143
“… needs a leader. The only definition of a leader is
someone who has followers.” (Drucker)
45
“… refers to a potential or capacity to influence others.”
(Vroom and Jago)
170
“…is the alignment of subordinates’ activities and their
motivational activation for goal attainment.” (Jung)
82
17. These 17, partly verbatim and partly analogous, defining
statements on leadership which cover more than one
century of academic work on the subject, substantially
share common characteristics that reappear. These features
are as follows: First, leadership is a process. Second, it is a
way of influencing. Third, it needs a group context. Fourth,
it aims at reaching a defined goal. Yukl
177
, Antonakis,
Cianciolo and Sternberg
2
and Northouse
125
find the same
common characteristics of leadership. It is remarkable that
100 years old definitions are still not outdated and that
definitions of different leadership theorists share the same
characteristics.
Contrasting leadership and management: Now, that
there is glimpse of terminological clarification of
18. leadership, coming from the above selection of scholars, it
is necessary to contrast leadership and management or
leaders and managers. The terms are often used
interchangeably, even though some scientific communities
still have lively debates on the alleged crucial differences
between them. These debates require at least a short
paragraph on the potential differentiation.
To differentiate between leadership and management may
be more likely to succeed while thinking about the
differences between leaders and managers. The former only
exists if he or she has followers, whereas the latter does not
necessarily needs followers, e.g. when you refer to an
account manager. Furthermore, the literature occasionally
regards the manager with disrespect as bureaucratic
administers, while the leader is upheaved to an innovative
visionary
19,91
. Managers act formal; leaders may also rule
19. informal and indirect
175
. Judging leadership as good and
management as bad
32
is not a phenomenon of an antiquated
perspective but still appears acceptable and presentable in
Advances In Management Vol. 7(5) May (2014)
54
scientific circles. Ward et al
171
state that “management is
getting things done through the effort of others, i.e.
subordinates. Value-creating leadership is getting extra-
ordinary things done with the willing help of others”.
Management is for order, regularity and continuity but
leadership enables change and inspiring, motivating visions
to move forward
20. 90
. If leadership is just one task the
manager performs
121
, if leadership is the functional
dimension of management
82
or whether the two fields have
to be regarded as totally different
90
is still debated. The
author goes along with Northhouse
124
and Yukl
177
who
both argue that there is no exclusive differentiation between
leadership and management as leaders perform managers’
tasks and vice versa. If there really is a decisive key
difference then “the answer will not come from debates
about ideal definitions”.
21. 177
Trait theories of leadership: The Great Man era marks the
beginning of the trait approach to leadership. The Great
Man theory argues that leaders are born, not made
87
. This
approach goes back to Carlyle
36
who attributes leaders with
special traits of character and believes and that they possess
an extraordinary personality which distinguishes them from
the led. To become a strong leader one is advised to copy
the personalities and characteristics of great men (as
virtually all leaders were men), even though the imitation
of personal traits is unlikely to succeed.
Nevertheless, Galton
56
, Bowden
31
22. as well as Borgotta,
Rouch and Bales
30
promote this approach for almost one
complete century. Early studies on traits are often propelled
by the emergence of intelligence tests at the beginning of
the 20
th
century
37
.
Jennings
81
even defends this theory by choosing the
biologically occupied terminology of inheritance when he
refers to the natural born leader. Great Man theorists
propose that there are certain traits which can be identified
as universal predictors for effective leadership
86
and that
23. these traits can be found by studying great leaders of
history. Confusingly, different great men had (and of
course still have) different personalities, so the
generalizability of trait approaches is very limited. There is
not the universal leader personality, as great men were
statesmen, warlords, generals, tyrants, dictators, diplomats,
pacifists, or civil rights activists – all equipped with
different characters and different personalities.
Yet, trait theories still have impacts on later leadership
research, as some traits are empirically investigated as
(non-essential) explanatory variables in leadership
contexts
50,73
. More recent studies still claim that key leader
traits do exists and that they provide leaders with the ability
to acquire the skills to become effective leaders
86
. Some
scholars still remain stuck in the odyssey of seeking
24. universally effective characteristics that produce
outstanding leaders, no matter if these attributes are
inherited or acquired
37,86
.
There surely are some merits for the born-not-made-theory
of leadership
108
as it marks the beginning of modern
approaches and can be regarded as basis for advanced
theories. Traits also have a demonstrated influence on the
perception of leadership
104
.
However, researchers of today widely seem to have
overcome the trait approach, as it is proved to be too
simplistic and of only little value for practicing leaders in
business organizations
166
25. . “The trait approach to leadership
has provided some descriptive insight but has little
analytical or predictive value”
105
and is discredited by
substantial research
174
. Even contemporary findings, which
are published during the zenith of the trait era, do not
indicate any correlation between a single trait or a set of
traits and the enhancement of leadership performance
80
. It
is Stogdill
156
who also finds that there is no single attribute
or cluster of traits which is identified as relevant across the
diversity of leadership situations.
Until now, trait approach theorists fail to empirically prove
26. the existence of a set of leader traits, which create effective
leaders
58,178
. Stogdill unconsciously anticipates the
beginning of a contingency approach to leadership and
practically ends the trait era with his review of 30 years of
trait theory and the correspondent conclusion he draws: “A
person does not become a leader by virtue of the possession
of some combination of traits”.
156,159
Behavioral theories of leadership
1. The Iowa studies: The behavioral approach in general
and the so called Iowa studies in particular stop focusing on
traits and start to address leaders’ actions in carrying out
the leadership role
170
.
Lewin, Lippitt and White
96
27. conduct their experimental
studies of group life - in secondary literature often referred
to as one-dimensional real type approach
154
- at the Child
Welfare Research Station of the Iowa State University to
examine impacts of three selected leadership styles on
social climates. For this purpose, 10 year old pupils (boys
only) are organized to clubs with a group size of five to
perform activities of interest e.g. mask-making, model
airplane construction, mural painting etc. The groups are
each confronted with supervisors who guide the clubs with
an authoritarian, a democratic or a laissez-faire leadership
style. Observation of club behavior is the main source for
data collection.
According to Lewin
95,97
and Lewin, Lippitt and White
96
28. ,
leaders realize different group atmospheres through
performing these three leadership styles as follows: The
authoritarian leader determines the choice of activities; the
techniques are dictated one at a time to leave coming steps
uncertain and the leader acts personal in praise and
criticism. Except from demonstration, there is no leader
Advances In Management Vol. 7(5) May (2014)
55
participation in the activities. The democratic leader assists
and encourages. The choice of activities is a matter of
group decision. Techniques and steps are sketched and
alternative procedures to choose from are given. Praise and
criticism is fact-minded. The laissez-faire leader only
provides necessary material and does not participate in the
activity processes. He does not interfere with the course of
events. There is neither praise nor criticism.
29. The findings of the Iowa experiments are significant
95,96
.
The group outcome in the authoritarian and the democratic
groups is equally high, but low in the laissez-faire clubs.
The democratic leadership positively correlates with
motivation and satisfaction of the group members. The
many directing approaches in the autocratic atmosphere
create social pressure and tension. The authoritarian style
leaves the smallest space of free movement which is
significantly greater in democratic groups. The laissez-faire
led clubs unexpectedly do not enjoy a greater space of free
movement due to the lack of perspective and the emerging
interference among the group members. The rigidity of
authoritarian group structure produces much more hostility
and aggression compared to the groups led democratically.
Authoritarian styles are also predestined to produce
apathetic behavior of group members.
30. However, all seemingly negative outcomes of autocracy
must always be analyzed according to the culturally
adopted style of living of an individual. This indicates that
cultural habits may mitigate the impacts of the authoritarian
leadership style on aggression and apathy. The last fact is
strikingly relevant for our study as we also empirically
investigate the effects of a concept which is related to
cultural habits (here: cultural embeddedness) on leadership
styles.
Critique may come from addressing the limitations of the
Iowa experiments in terms of the generalizability of results,
as all the led participants are children. Another criticism
may arise from the gender perspective, as the groups are
composed of boys only. The degree of realism also has its
weaknesses because the experimental setting has a
laboratory character and may not be applicable to all
organizational contexts and situations.
31. However, the Iowa studies academically persist; the three
leadership styles continue to be representatives of the
relation between leaders and led and still capture the scope
of business reality. This makes these studies a milestone,
for organizational development practitioners
34,59,110
, for the
organizational behavior discipline
119
, for research
methodology in the field of management
173
and specifically
for leadership research.
5,35,109
2. The Ohio studies: The Ohio State Leadership Studies
(hereafter referred to as Ohio studies), mainly conducted by
a research team around the scholar Fleishman, mark the
second behavioral real type approach in leadership studies
32. after the Iowa experiments. The Ohio studies begin in 1945
and are conceptualized as a two-dimensional theory
107
.
Here, leadership behavior is dominated either by a concern
for task objectives or a concern for relationship
objectives
176
. This two-dimensionality has large effects on
the following decades of leadership research; several
scholars replicate the Ohio studies with extension
23,142
.
Fleishman
55
, Halpin and Winer
66
as well as Stogdill, Goode
and Day
158
contribute crucial publications on the Ohio
33. studies to literature.
The Ohio researchers’ methodology is based on the use of
the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire to identify
two dimensions of leadership. The initiating structure
dimension produces task behavior and the consideration for
workers dimension produces relationship behavior. These
dimensions are found not to be mutually exclusive, so that
they co-exist independently and simultaneously, i.e. one
can have high scores on both at the same time. Initiating
structure here means the focus on the accomplishment of
tasks
166
whereas consideration here is equivalent with a
concern for human relations between leaders and
followers
64,166
. Effective and successful leaders are
believed to realize both, a high task orientation and at the
34. same time a high relationship orientation. Thus, they pursue
high performance through attaining goals and promoting a
motivating atmosphere for subordinates.
Figure 1: The Ohio State Leadership Quadrants

Blanchard
69
The Ohio studies contribute to the field of leadership
145
.
35. However, there are two main limitations. First, situational
and contextual factors of leadership are not sufficiently
taken into concern
170
. Critics and reviewers may also argue
that the quadrants can overlap and would therefore not be
completely independent. Second, the two distinct
leadership behaviors are not empirically proved to
positively correlate with effective leadership
176
. There is no
clear evidence for the positive effects of high scores in both
dimensions
25
.
Advances In Management Vol. 7(5) May (2014)
56
3. The Michigan studies: The Michigan State University
Leadership Studies (hereafter referred to as Michigan
36. studies) which begin in 1947 at the Institute for Social
Research at the University of Michigan, conducted by a
research team around the scholars Katz and Likert, propose
the third behavioral approach study to leadership asking
how a leader acts. The Michigan studies are closely
connected to the Ohio studies, as both form a building
block for further leadership studies through applying a real
type approach using the survey method (here: the Survey of
Organizations Questionnaire) to examine the leaders’
action
83
. Behaviors may be friendly and supportive on the
one hand or initiating and goal attaining on the other
hand
55
.
Likert
101
names these two basic styles as production
37. oriented behavior with clear goal attaining concern and
employee oriented behavior with a strong focus on
interpersonal relations. The similarity to the Ohio studies
with their initiating structure and consideration dimensions
is obvious. “Both measure leadership effectiveness in terms
of how leaders treat subordinates and how they get the job
done”.
38
Unlike the Ohio studies, the Michigan studies
must be identified as a one-dimensional theory, although
one can argue that it applies two dimensions of leadership
behavior. The reason for one-dimensionality is that the two
styles (task focusing and relation focusing) lie at the
opposite ends of a continuum, whereas the two Ohio
dimensions can be realized with high scores at the same
time.
Thus, the Michigan studies assert that a leader is not able to
act both, production focused and employee centered. This
38. is the crucial difference between the two studies. A more
participative behavior focusing on interpersonal relations
between leaders and subordinates is found to be effective
and consequently to be outperforming the production
oriented style.
101,102
The two studies share the same criticism. Neither the Ohio
studies nor the Michigan studies “have produced a solid
body of scientific evidence sufficient to guide practice”.
170
Locke and Schweiger
103
, Miller and Monge
118
as well as
Schweiger and Leana
150
bring into question if there is a
strong relation between participative behavior and
39. effectiveness if situational variables are disregarded.
Moreover, the Michigan studies assume invariance across
the diversity of situational contexts
170
; the importance of
the situation was ignored.
167-169
4. Theory X and theory Y: Theory X and theory Y are
postulated by McGregor from 1960 on to contrast two
motivationally different ideas of man. McGregor
115
argues
that the two theories, which are developed at the MIT Sloan
School of Management, do not belong to the same
continuum, but may co-exist simultaneously with different
scores or parameter values. In McGregor’s opinion, it is in
the nature of humans that in every individual one
theoretical idea of man prevails and determines the
underlying structure of a basic motivation for work.
40. According to McGregor
114,116
theory X on the one hand
assumes that workers are naturally lazy, seek security and
are predestined to be led by external control. Theory Y on
the other hand acts on the assumption that the working
forces consider their work as naturally as their needs to rest
or play. They search for organizational challenges and
regard work as a source of satisfaction. Theory X workers
may be autocratically motivated through rewards or
sanctions disregarding human relations, while the driving
force behind a theory Y worker is the creation of an
inspiring, stimulating and participative work environment
to unfold full motivation and creativity. Theory Y workers’
needs are self-control and self-direction.
McGregor, who is influenced by the Human-
Relations
130,134,140
41. movement and by Maslow’s hierarchy of
needs
111
, advocates the mentality to assume that the
average employee belongs to the class of theory Y workers
because assuming a worker belongs to theory X will lead to
a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you think that your workers are
lazy, this is what they will turn to be. However, McGregor
denies the presumption of a self-fulfilling prophecy for
theory Y workers. So, unfortunately, the counterpart of the
vicious circle of theory X is not a self-enhancing virtuous
circle of theory Y.
The main criticism comes from the argument that there is
no universal model of man. Some researchers argue that not
every worker is or wants to be creative even if stimulated
by ideal work conditions
88
. The critics hold the view that
42. there are many employees who better respond to a theory X
management
29
. Furthermore, theory Y has no measurable
impacts on job performance.
49,155
5. The continuum of leader behavior: In 1958 the
scholars Tannenbaum and Schmidt
161
develop a one-
dimensional ideal type theory to leadership on the basis of
the Iowa studies’ findings around Lewin, Lippitt and
White
96
which again supports the choice of leadership
styles in the author’s empirical study. This behavioral
approach which culminates in the leadership continuum
assumes that leadership behavior can be explained as a
bipolar continuum of seven steps of behavioral classes on
43. the range between authority and delegation
72
or between a
boss-centered and a subordinate-centered leadership
99
. The
more the leader tends to behave authoritarian, the lesser the
led experience participation in decisions and freedom of
actions. The more the leader tends to apply a democratic
leadership style, the better the led enjoy participation in
decision making. Figure 2 visualizes the continuum of
leader behavior.
According to Tannenbaum and Schmidt
161
, the choice of
the appropriate leadership style depends on the
characteristics of leaders and followers as well as on the
Advances In Management Vol. 7(5) May (2014)
44. 57
situational context. Leaders may choose their style to meet
the demands of the situation
99
. Particularly the last fact
extends former behavioral approaches to leadership and
functions as a precursor to contribute to the later rise of
contingency theories which explicitly demand the
awareness of the varieties of situations
170
.
45. Figure 2: The Leadership Continuum
Source: self-created; with reference to Tannenbaum and
Schmidt
161
The leadership continuum is criticized for its ideal type
character because it fails to be applied to real business
contexts; it rather advances theory than helps practitioners.
Apart from that the relation between the continuum and
performance remains unclear, Tannenbaum and Schmidt
161
do not provide a prediction for leadership effectiveness that
corresponds with the choice of style
46
.
6. The managerial grid: In 1964 the scholars Blake and
Mouton
23
46. publish conceptualized leadership theory
between 1958 and 1960 which they illustrate in the so
called managerial grid. The grid visualizes a two-
dimensional behavioral approach to leadership and is
deeply influenced by the prior research of the Ohio studies
and the Michigan studies, which are on their part
influenced by the Iowa studies
24,27
. Blake and Mouton
explicitly replicate and extend the Ohio state leadership
quadrants (figure 1). What Fleishman
55
calls initiating
structure and consideration during the Ohio research, Blake
and Mouton name concern for performance and concern for
people
23
. Three out of five leadership styles which emerge
from the grid have a strong resemblance or are identical
47. with the original styles of Lewin, Lippitt and White
96
. The
grid asserts that high scores on both dimensions are
equivalent to the use of the ideal leadership style (Fig. 3).
Many scholars use the managerial grid for researches on
leadership, typically for studies focusing on organizational
development.
16,21,65,85
However, critics argue that one best
leadership style does not exist. Like Fleishman’s Ohio
model, also the managerial grid is criticized for its claim to
realize leadership effectiveness through high scores on
both, people orientation and performance concern. This so
called high-high paradigm is not empirically
supported.
94,126
Moreover, the grid shows little concern for
the situational context in the original Blake and Mouton
48. approach, although a revised theory mentions a (normally
applied) dominant style and a (rarely adopted) backup style
of a leader. The backup style is only used in stressful
circumstances
26,28
.
Figure 3: The Managerial Grid

23

15
49. 7. The three-dimensional theory: Reddin
136
develops a
three-dimensional theory of leadership and by that he is one
of the scholars who mark the beginning of the transition
from behavioral approaches to contingency theories of
leadership
3
. Thus, it may be debatable to associate his work
rather with the field of situational approaches than with the
era of behavioral theories. However, as Reddin’s work
mainly covers the use of the right leadership styles which
clearly emphasizes his behaviorist perspective, his three-
dimensional theory is predominantly a behavioral
approach, but certainly with a strong situational impact.
Reddin
136
whose three-dimensional model is influenced by
50. the findings of the Iowa studies, the Ohio studies, the
Michigan studies and the managerial grid, argues that next
to the relationship orientation and task orientation, a third
dimension has to be added: leadership effectiveness. In his
view, no matter if the basic two dimensions realize high or
low scores, the corresponding leadership style may be
effective or ineffective; all leadership styles claim the right
to exist and may be appropriate as long as they are applied
with regard to the situation
137
.
According to the scores on people focus and task focus,
Reddin develops four major (neutral) styles: related (high
Advances In Management Vol. 7(5) May (2014)
58
on people orientation, low on task orientation), separated
(low on both), dedicated (high on task orientation, low on
51. people orientation) and integrated (high on both) as in fig.
4. These basic styles can be used in situations which are
appropriate or inappropriate to them
136
so leadership
behavior depends on the situation
98
. This leads to the
assumption that each basic style has one effective and one
ineffective counterpart.
52. Figure 4: The Three-Dimensional Theory
Source: self-created, with reference to Reddin
139
Critics argue that it is not clear if the two basic dimensions
are independent. Furthermore, the model is a too general
concept, so that the practical relevance is considered low
154
.
Apart from that, the third dimension lacks a theoretical
underpinning and an empirical support for the effect of the
situation on leadership effectiveness is missing
123
.
Contingency theories of leadership
1. The “contingency” model: Fiedler
52
enters the era of
contingency theories of leadership by asserting, that three
factors have impacts on whether a leader is effective or not:
53. In the tradition of Fleishman’s Ohio state leadership
quadrants
55
, Blake and Mouton’s managerial grid
23
and
with resemblance to the aforementioned three-dimensional
approach of Reddin
136
, Fiedler chooses task orientation,
human relation orientation and situational favorableness to
study leadership effectiveness.
He uses a quite innovative and at the same time disputable
instrument to measure and test the degree to which a leader
focuses on task achievement or interpersonal relations
37
.
Fiedler
50-52
assumes that a leader who assesses an imagined
54. least preferred co-worker (LPC) in a favorable light, which
is expressed by high scores on an LPC scale, tends to lead
with a strong focus on human relations, whereas a leader
assessing the LPC rather negatively, which is expresses by
a low score, is more task oriented
170
. Situational
favorableness, recalled later into situational control,
consists of the level of cooperation by the led, the clarity of
the task and the degree of the leader’s formal authority
53
.
Fiedler
52
finds out that leaders with a low LPC score (task
oriented) achieve the highest degrees of leadership
effectiveness in situations with very high or very low
situational control. High LPC scoring leaders (relationship
oriented) are effective in situations with a moderate level of
55. control. “The implication of Fiedler’s theory is for a leader
to be placed in a situation that is favorable to his or her
style”.
170
Fiedler
51
states that the job should fit the manager
and not vice versa.
Fiedler’s contingency model faces various criticisms from
many scholars.
61,117,144,151
Apart from the high level of
complexity
37
, the other main two critical opinions are as
follows: First, the model does not include the option to be
both, relationship oriented and task focused
37
. Second,
leaders are often not able to determine the degree of
56. situational control
10
. However, Fiedler’s approach
contributes to theory and practice as it provides significant
empirical support for impacts on leadership
effectiveness
132,160
.
2. The situational theory: In 1977 Hersey and Blanchard
70
develop their situational leadership theory which first
appears under the name life cycle theory. Next to the two
variables of the Ohio studies, consideration (for
relationship orientation) and initiating structure (for task
orientation), Hersey and Blanchard advocate a third
situational variable that refers to the maturity of
subordinates. According to the two scholars, performance
is a function of maturity, consisting of job ability and
psychological willingness. The scholars distinguish four
57. different degrees of a subordinate’s maturity
71
. The lowest
level of maturity prevails if a follower is neither willing nor
able (M1); the highest degree of maturity prevails if an
employee is both, willing and able (M4). If one is able, but
unwilling his or her maturity is assumed to be higher (M3)
compared to a subordinate who is willing but unable (M2).
Here, the behavior of a leader, i.e. if he or she should act
task focused or relationship oriented, strongly depends on
the maturity level of the led (Fig. 5).
Following the argumentation and given a superiority of
ability over willingness in terms of their impact on maturity
leads to the assumption that the ability is the main source of
influence on performance. However, this conclusion is
disputable and arguments for a vice versa interpretation
also exists
60
58. . Other critics argue that the maturity of the led
ignores other contextual features that may occur in the
relation between leaders and followers
170
. A sound theory
explaining the middle range of maturity (M2, M3) is
missing and undermines the robustness of the situational
theory
60
. This reveals some internal consistency problems
1
.
These erode the applicability of this theory for practitioners
as a large number of subordinates may be classified to
belong to this middle level maturity section.

3. The path-goal theory: In 1971 the scholar House
73
, an
Ohio State University alumni, produces - inspired by
Evans
47
- a much-noticed leadership approach, which
belongs to the contingency theories. His so called path-goal
theory, once revised
77
, claims that leadership effectiveness
60. depends on a leader’s behaviors, the follower’s
expectations and the organizational situation. House
73
promotes the view that a leader’s main task is to pave a
path by behaving in a way to ensure that the employee’s
goals match with organizational goals.
Thus, the basic role of a leader is to shape paths to
subordinates’ and organization’s goals
74,170
. An effective
leader is believed to reduce barriers for subordinates to
motivate them and to attain goals through four different
leadership behaviors: directive, supportive, participative
and achievement-oriented
74
. The leader should provide
enabling conditions
73,166
and make the followers see that
61. their organizational task orientation helps to achieve
personal goals
37
.
The path-goal model is criticized for not being sufficiently
empirically tested
48,146
. The practicability of this approach
is low because determining the appropriate leadership
behavior according to the expectancies and needs of the
followers is seen as too complex to be performable by a
leader in day-to-day managerial practice
166,170
. A low-
clarity and low-structure situation is found to be best
compatible with directive, task oriented leader behavior
whereas a highly structured and well predictable situation
demands supportive relationship oriented leader behavior.
However, results at the same time reveal that also the
62. opposite is true; thus the path-goal findings are
inconsistent
37
. Particularly, participative leadership in later
studies
63
on the path-goal subject is practically always
found to be positively correlating with the degree of
subordinates’ motivation, satisfaction and performance so
that House’s differentiation becomes obsolete.
4. The normative decision model: Vroom and Yetton
167
and later Vroom and Jago
168
contribute with their
normative decision model to the contingency theories of
leadership. The Vroom-Yetton-Jago model supports a
leader in decision making processes and offers certain help
answering the question of how much subordinates’
63. involvement in decision making is appropriate
168,169
. This
contingency theory responds to prior leadership research by
explicitly taking group work into much greater
consideration
167
. Like other situational approaches, the
Vroom-Yetton-Jago theory also argues that the choice of an
adequate leadership style only succeeds when the scope of
the organizational context is fully captured
167
. The
effectiveness of participation is dependent on specific
situational variables
170
. A leader’s behavior is deeply
influenced by the situation
98
.
64. The scholars’ prescriptive model contains five different
leadership styles which range on a single continuum from
extremely autocratic via consultative to extremely
participative. The styles determine followers’ involvement
in decision making. As a side note and to affirm the right
choice of leadership styles in our own empirical study, this
continuum again shows a striking resemblance to the two
main styles which the research of Lewin, Lippitt and
White
96
promotes. Each potential style may be an
appropriate response to a certain situation. To examine the
situation and to finally determine which style is most
effective in this situation, Vroom and Yetton
167
argue to use
a decision tree. The process of answering up to eight key
questions (e.g. if there is a certain quality requirement for
the decision, if the problem is clear and structured or if the
65. followers’ acceptance of the decision is necessary) is
considered helpful while navigating through the decision
tree to find the recommended leadership style.
In relation to other contingency theories of leadership the
Vroom-Yetton-Jago approach is most distinctly criticized
for its level of complexity
10
. Even if the theory and the
corresponding findings are attractive, consistent and to an
acceptable extent empirically supported
37,54
, the degree of
intricacy significantly lowers the value of the model for
practitioners. However, this approach at least theoretically
equips a leader with a method that is able to promote
leadership effectiveness
166
. With regard to some highly
important decisions, the time to pass through the decision
66. tree is worth being taken.
A relational theory of leadership
The so called leader-member-exchange (LMX) theory is
the most prominent relational model
165
and takes an
exceptional position among leadership approaches, as the
main focus is not on traits, behaviors or situations but on
the dyad of leader and led
93
. Thus, group relationships play
a minor role in this approach. Dansereau, Graen and Haga
41
develop the vertical dyad linkage (VDL) model, which is
seen as the basis for the LMX theory. According to the
VDL model a leader psychologically separates his or her
followers into two sub-groups. The in-group is comprised
of subordinates to whom the leader has a very close,
67. Advances In Management Vol. 7(5) May (2014)
60
personal, occasionally informal and valuable relation; the
members of the out-group remain within a greater personal
distance to the leader and experience a rather formal
contact. The underlying reasons for forming two differing
kinds of relations are the shortage of time and hence, the
practical impossibility to pay equal attention to all
subordinate
57,93
.
Graen and Uhl-Bien
62
argue that every relationship
between leader and follower begins with the out-group
stadium and some initial testing phase. It then possibly
continues to the next step and the development of trust,
loyalty and respect. The third and closest level is reached
68. when both, leader and follower, have a strong self-interest
to intensify the exchange of mutual support. Certainly, only
very few followers enter the final stage of relationship and
become dyad partners
165
. The dyad of leader and in-group
member and the corresponding reciprocity
152
are
empirically proved to produce a high quality relationship
that effectively supports motivation, satisfaction and
performance
43,57,147
.
The LMX theory may be criticized for its unique position
and the disregard of situational factors. However, the LMX
approach is closely connected to what has emerged as
transformational leadership
42,57,147
which essentially
69. advances leadership research and recently contributes to
literature as the latest state-of-the-art approach. Especially
the third level of LMX, when leaders and followers begin
to like each other, marks the link between the LMX
approach and transformational leadership.
42,62,93
The transformational theory of leadership
The transformational approach to leadership, which is
brought to light mainly by Bass
11
, is based on the ideas of
Burns
35
and is inspired by the charismatic leadership theory
of House
76
, while the literal term transformational
leadership goes back to Downtown
44
. The transformational
70. era currently is the most promising stage during the
evolution of leadership theory
166
. Bass
13
argues that
transformational leaders motivate others to do more than
they originally intended and often even more than they
thought possible. The leader who leads according to ideal
transformational principles recognizes the needs and the
abilities of his or her subordinates and of the organization
as a whole and is able to match them. This admittedly
idealistic approach conceptualizes a vision of a future
scenario and by that it arouses intrinsic motivation of
subordinates. Thus, followers become leaders themselves
7
stirred by a trustworthy leader.
Burns
35
71. develops a transformational understanding of
leadership through separating it from a transactional
approach. While the transformational theory focuses on
followers who transcend personal interests to become
intrinsically motivated agents of collective achievement,
the transactional approach is based on mutually beneficial
transactions
37
.
72. Figure 6: The Full Range of Leadership Model
Source: self-created; with reference to Bass
13
Specifically, four characterizing transformational elements
(due to the common initial letter often referred to as the
four I’s) are contrasted with three transactional
elements
7,13
: First, a transformational leader is always
charismatic
13,76
and breeds idealized influence. This
ensures to have the led meet the moral demand to regard
their own personal interests less important than
organizational interests. Second, the leader produces
inspirational motivation to align the followers to a common
goal. Third, the leader challenges the led through
intellectual stimulation and encourages creativity and
innovativeness of subordinates. Fourth, the leader realizes
73. individualized consideration through fully understanding
the personality, the abilities and goals of the led to nurture
their talent and to unfold their potential. These four
characteristics polarize with the following transactional
elements of leadership:
First, the relationship of the transactional leader and his or
her subordinates is based on contingent reward which
functions as a quid pro quo system. Second, the leader
performs either active (a) or passive (b) management by
exception which means that the leader uses specific
systems or processes to keep the led under surveillance and
intervenes in case of an anticipated (a) or occurred (b)
mistake incident. Bass
13
finally integrates a laissez-faire
leadership style as an additional transactional leader
behavior. This integration leads to what he calls the full
range of leadership model, a graphical illustration which
74. summarizes the full scope of transactional and
transformational leadership (Fig. 6).
According to Burns
35
transactional leadership, which
mainly focuses on a formal exchange of work for reward
and the rather ideal transformational leadership are
incompatible. However, Avolio and Bass
7
empirically
proved that a combination of both may be effective and
Advances In Management Vol. 7(5) May (2014)
61
may produce positive impacts on performance. A
continuing exchange of work for reward may be a source
for mutual trust, which is one of the bases of successful
transformational leadership
6
. Transformational leadership
75. may be built on a transactional fundament, but the more a
leader tends to apply the four transformational elements the
more effective his leadership is
14,67
and the more a leader is
able to influence the whole organization in all directions
175
.
Research results show that transformational leadership is
more effective than transactional leadership
39,86,128
. If
transformational leadership depends on the situation is still
debated
14,138
.
One further very interesting factor, especially for managing
practitioners, is that transformational leadership is trainable
i.e. leaders can learn and practice to become
transformational leaders or to improve their ability to lead
76. transformational
8,15,153
. However, Northouse
124
considers
transformational leadership and sees elements of personal
traits and natural talents that are inherent in gifted
personalities. This undermines the assumption of
trainability.
Bryman
33
criticizes the disregard for contextual factors.
Miner
120
argues that the transformational approach needs
some theoretical underpinning concerning what factors
nurture transformational leadership. Other scholars warn
that transformational leadership shifts away from the top
hierarchical level to be applied throughout an organization,
77. which may cause conflicts between the agendas of different
organizational departments
148,149
. Finally, the benefits of
transformational leadership clearly outweigh its
deficiencies but more research is needed to support the
promising impacts of this approach
