Abstract

There have been at least four historical themes in the way people have thought and written about leadership. The first, which still pervades, is the “great man” trait theories, which argue that leaders have particular qualities or attributes that enable them to do the job. The next phase concentrated on the leader’s style of leading. It was called the “behavioral approach” and looked at how, for instance, democratic and authoritarian and laissez-faire leaders went about the job. You choose your style.
