Leaders have a certain set of
physical and emotional
characteristics that are crucial
for inspiring others toward a
common goal. Some theorists
believe that traits are innate
and cannot be learned; others
believe that leadership traits
can be developed in each
individual.
trait theories
are based on
two types of behaviour: task
and relationship behaviours.
The combination of these two
types of behaviours has been
extensively studied to
determine the most effective
leadership styles. The
assumption is that styles can
be learned and cultivated.
style theories
here are four types of leader
behaviours: supportive, directive, participative, and
achievement oriented. Leader behaviour should be
contingent on task and follower characteristics.
Stressful tasks, for instance, require supportive
leaders to lower follower anxiety.
path-goal theory
The level of follower
maturity influences the appropriate mix of task
characteristics and leader behaviour. With novice
followers (those who are new at a task), leaders
should be directive.

consideration, and inspirational
motivation.
