“trait” leadership theory
- set forth the premise that certain people are born to be leaders, having inherited a set of innate characteristics that endow them with the unique ability to lead others.
- this theory grew because the ability to lead others was often seen within the royal and prominent families
- others were not allowed to become leaders, a fact that also helps explain its premise
- currently most people do not accept the idea that an individual is born to lead
- theories evolved and suggested that leaders in one situation may function as followers in another - the role is not set in stone.
