Why is it important?
Leadership theories offer an academic perspective on the many different leadership styles. Leadership theories help explain how leaders harness and develop their leadership practice within a particular theoretical perspective.
Perspectives
Early debates on the psychology of leadership often suggested that such skills were innate abilities. These theories proposed that certain people were "born leaders." Some recent theories propose that possessing certain traits may help make people leaders but that experience and situational variables also play a critical role.
