What is the ‘Great Man’ approach in leadership theory?
‘Great Man’ approach is a ‘trait’ theory that argues for nature; leaders are born with an innate set of characteristics that enable them to become effective leaders.
This theory emphasizes inherent traits rather than learned behaviors.
What does the social learning theory of leadership suggest?
Individuals learn leadership behaviors primarily through observing and imitating others, particularly role models, within their environment.
This theory highlights the importance of social context in developing leadership skills.

The interactionist approach combines the trait and social learning theories.
It suggests that both inherent traits and learned behaviors contribute to effective leadership.
