 Theories of Motivation

Leadership theories are the explanations of how

and why certain people become leaders. They

focus on the traits and behaviors that people can

adopt to increase their leadership capabilities.

Contingency Theory of Leadership

Contingency theories suggest that there is no one

best style of leadership. Successful and enduring
leaders will use various styles according to the
nature of the situation and the followers.
Contingency Theory of Leadership
Great Man Theory of Leadership

The great man theory of leadership states

that some people are born with the necessary
attributes that set them apart from others and that
these traits are responsible for their assuming
positions of power and authority.
Behavioral Theory of Leadership

Behavioral leadership theory involves observing

and evaluating a leader's actions and
behaviors when they are responding to a specific
situation. This theory believes that leaders are
made, not born.
Path Goal Theory of Leadership

The Path-Goal model is a theory based on explaining

a leader’s style or behavior that is best suited to the
employee and workplace to achieve a common goal.
The path-goal theory can best be referred to as a
set of processes in which leaders choose specific
behaviors that are good for the employees’ needs and
their working environment so that they may work
together to achieve their daily targets.
Path Goal Theory of Leadership
 Situational Theory of Leadership

The situational theory of leadership suggests that no

single leadership style is best. Instead, it depends on
which type of leadership and strategies are best-suited
to the task.
According to this theory, the most effective leaders are
those that are able to adapt their style to the situation
and look at cues such as the type of task, the nature of
the group, and other factors that might contribute to
getting the job done.
Situational Theory of Leadership
 Relationship Theory of Leadership

Relationship-oriented leadership theory describes
a leader who is primarily motivated by and concerned
with her interactions with people. Relationship-
oriented leaders often act as mentors to their
subordinates. They schedule time to talk with employees
and incorporate their feedback into decisions.
 Grid Theory of Leadership

This model originally identified five different

leadership styles based on the concern for
people and the concern for production.
The optimal leadership style in this model is
based on Theory Y.
