Great Man Theory
One day, a great leader will be born, it will be a man and
he will save us all.

Traits theory
Let’s dissect a leader and find the traits great leaders are born with. We can then screen people for these traits.

Behavioral theory
Wait a minute, leaders are not
born. Leaders can be made. Leadership is a social behaviour you can learn. It’s about what leaders
do, not who they are.

Managerial Grid, Role theory
Let’s make boxes and scales of
different
leadership styles. Task oriented or people oriented? Autocratic or participative?

Situational leadership
There is no ‘best’ style, it all
depends on the situation. The times produce the leader not the other way around.

Transactional leadership
Leading is telling. People are
motivated by rewards and
punishments. People need
an authority figure who is in
command. Lead, follow or get out of the way…

Transformational leadership
Leading is selling. We need
leaders who create a vision
and inspire people
to do great things. Transform! Charisma! Enthusiasm!

Functional leadership model
Leadership is a set of behaviours that make
people reach their goal. It’s about action. Task. Team. Individual.

Leadership practises inventory
Hold your horses. Maybe we should ask
followers how they like to be lead. Who do people follow?

Who ever said leadership is about one leader and
many followers?
We all lead. Networks subvert hierarchy.
Power to the connected peers!
