Theories of leadership
Trait or personality approaches
Trait theories are incomplete theories of
leadership, irrespective of traits and/or
personality of the leaders being important
contributors to, or detractors from
excellent leadership.
Locke (1991) suggests that energy and
honesty, appear to be vital for effective
leadership
Behavioural approach
Good leadership could not simply be
explained on the basis of the innate
characteristics of the leaders
Behaviouralists argued that anyone could
be taught to become a leader by simply
learning the behaviours of other effective
leaders.
To create a vision
A vision can be described as a state of
the future that lies beyond the directly
imaginable by most people.
The leader is responsible for envisioning a
future for the organization that can
become reality if the people working in
the organization can be aligned towards
achieving that envisioned state.
