“ I used to think that running an

organization was equivalent to
conducting a symphony or orchestra.
But I don’t think it was more like a jazz.
There is more improvisation.-
Warren Bennis
THEORIES OF
LEADERSHIP
“GREAT MAN” THEORY

The great man theory of leadership

states that excellent leaders are born,
not developed.
A popular concept in the 19th
century, this theory states that
leadership is an inherent quality.
This type of leader often possesses
the natural attributes of intelligence,
courage, confidence, intuition and
charm, among others.
THE TRAIT THEORY

The trait theory of leadership states

that certain natural qualities tend to
create good leaders.
Having certain qualities does not
necessarily mean someone has strong
leadership skills, however.
Some leaders may be excellent
listeners or communicators, but not
every listener or communicator
makes an excellent leader.
BEHAVIORAL THEORY

Behavioral theories of leadership are

based upon the belief that great leaders
are made, not born.
The behavioral theory of leadership
focuses on how a person’s environment,
not natural abilities, forms him or her
into a leader.
One of the key concepts of behavioral
theory is conditioning.
Conditioning states that a person will be
more likely to act or lead in a certain style
as a result of environmental responses to
behavior.
TRANSACTIONAL OR MANAGEMENT THEORY

The transactional theory of

leadership, also called "the
management theory," studies
leadership as a system of rewards
and penalties.
It views effective leadership as
results-focused and hierarchical.
Transactional leaders prioritize order
and structure over creativity.
THE TRANSFORMATIONAL THEORY
OR RELATIONSHIP THEORY

The transformational theory of

leadership, also called "the relationship
theory," studies effective leadership as
the result of a positive relationship
between leaders and team members.
Transformational leaders motivate
and inspire through their enthusiasm
and passion. They are a model for
teams, and they hold themselves to
the same standard they expect of
others.
THE SITUATIONAL THEORY

The situational theory of leadership

does not relate to a certain type of
leader or claim that any one style is
best. Instead, situational theory argues
that the best kind of leader is one who
is able to adapt her style based on the
situation. They may respond to a
situation by commanding, coaching,
persuading, participating, delegating
or however they think is necessary.
Situational leaders are defined by
their flexibility.
PARTICIPATIVE THEORIES
Participative leadership theories
suggest that the ideal leadership
style is one that takes the input of
others into account. These leaders
encourage participation and
contributions from group members
and help group members feel more
relevant and committed to the
decision-making process. In
participative theories, however, the
leader retains the right to allow the
input of others.
LEADERSHIP
AND HUMAN
BEHAVIOR
“We must become the
change we want
to see.”
- Mahatma Gandi
LEADERSHIP

As a leader, you need to interact with

your followers, peers, seniors, and
others; whose support you need in
order to accomplish your goals.
To gain their support, you must be
able to understand and motivate
them.
To understand and motivate people,
you must know human nature.
Human nature is the common
qualities of all human beings.
People behave according to certain
principles of human nature.
MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS

Maslow (1943) felt that human needs were

arranged in a hierarchical order that could be
divided into two major groups: basic needs and
metaneeds (higher order needs):
o Basic Needs are physiological, such as food,
water, and sleep; and psychological, such as
affection, security, and self-esteem. These basic
needs are also called “deficiency needs” because
if an individual does not meet them, then that
person will strive to make up the deficiency.
o Metaneeds or being needs (growth needs).
These include justice, goodness, beauty, order,
unity, etc. Basic needs normally take priority
over these meta needs. For example, a person
who lacks food or water will normally not attend
to justice or beauty needs.
FACTORS OF
LEADERSHIP
FACTORS OF LEADERSHIP
All leaders should be in tune with four key
factors of leadership: the led, the leader,
the situation and the communication.
All four factors must always be
considerations when exercising leadership,
but at different moments, they affect each
other differently.
Leadership is often defined as a process of
influencing others to accomplish a task by
providing purpose, direction, and
motivation. A good leader sets the plan in
place, organizes resources and makes sure
everyone understands what’s going on,
orients the team members and then lets
them go. Leadership is about relationship
building.
FACTORS OF LEADERSHIP

the led,
the leader,
the situation and
the communication.
BOSS OR A
LEADER?

BOSS OR A LEADER
Although some position as class president,
student council officer etc. gives the
authority to accomplish certain tasks and
objectives in the organization (called
assigned leadership), this power does not
make the person a leader, it simply makes
him a boss.

Leadership differs in that it makes the

followers want to achieve high goals (called
emergent leadership), rather than simply
bossing around. Thus, the person gets
assigned leadership by the position and
display EMERGENT LEADERSHIP by
influencing people to do great.
BOSS THEORY OF LEADERSHIP
Boss theory of leadership states that there
are three basic ways to explain how people
become leaders. The first two explain the
leadership development for a small
number of people.

Some personality traits may lead people

into leadership-this is the trait theory

A crisis or event may cause a person to rise to the

occasion, which brings extra ordinary leadership qualities
in an ordinary person. This is the great events theory

People can choose to become leaders. People can learn

leadership skills. This is the transformational or process
leadership theory.

 LEADERSHIP QOUTES
