Behavioural Theory- According this theory, it specifies that leader in
organisation behaves and reacts according to situation. In behavioural,
collaboration as well as coordination is being developed at workplace. Also,
it helps managers in deciding how to behave in team and with members. In
this, it is also believed that leader’s qualities and skills can be developed by
anyone who is interested in becoming leader. Thus, when using this theory it
is to be analysed that what are the impact of such theories on team and
management. Because, leader behaviour is important to be examined so that
decision making is done effectively. Also, strategies as well as tactics are to
be implemented according to the situation. (Meuser, 2016).

Trait Theory- This states that leaders are by born which means that to become leader one
needs to have some specific skills to become leader. Also, this address that individual has
leadership skills or not. Further, it also depicts that all leaders are different from each
other and possess characteristics as well as skills accordingly. It provides knowledge

theory are wrong and which are not be considered by managers in management. In this,
it is not possible to apply new and modern approaches of leadership. (Berkovich, 2016).
