LEADERSHIP PLAN3
Among the effective leadership theories, the most important are trait theory, behavioural
theory, contingency theories, transactional and transformational theories.
Trait theory: this leadership theory refers to the fact that the leadership capabilities are
some inborn qualities of the leaders which cannot be developed through trainings. The
qualities are the intelligence, creativity, sense of responsibility and the other values which
make a great leader (Arena & Uhl-Bien, 2016). This theory analyses the mental, social and
physical characteristics so that more understanding of the qualities of leadership can be
understood.
Behavioural theory: this leadership theory is capable to prove that the leadership traits
of the leaders are either concerned with the people or with their tasks. As the leaders are
expected to have a great relationship with their followers, therefore, they follow certain
process with their attitudes and behaviours that attract their employees and motivate them to
follow their leaders.
Contingency theory of leadership: according to this theory, there in a single way
which must be followed by the leaders to effectively control their followers. It is the process
of leading people according to the needs of the situation. This theory opines that there are
certain elements which enable the leaders to make decisions and act accordingly so that the
changes in the situation can empower the followers without incurring scope for failure.
Transactional theory: this particular leadership theory refers to the transaction
between re leaders and followers. This theory values the beneficial and positive relationship.
This theory relates to have a motivational value where the leaders must find the means to
align to the adequately reward or punish their followers for performing the leaders assigned
works (Ford & Harding, 2018). As this theory claims that the transactional leadership theory
helps the leaders to develop mutual reinforcing environment.
