Introduction
There is no one universal definition of leadership but it’s important to understand the aspects of leadership. The four major classifications of leadership theory have practical value because they are used to better understand, predict, and control successful leadership.
The four major classifications are The Trait Theory, Behavioral Leadership Theory, Contingency Leadership Theory and the Integrative Leadership Theory.
Leadership decisions are a daily aspect of organizations and the fate of an organization is guided by leadership decisions. Understanding the theories is a basic starting point.
Submit an essay defining trait, behavioral and contingency leadership theories, and the interrelationship between them.
