Leaders face dilemma every day, and though everyone agrees that leadership is essential, not everyone agrees on the definition of what leadership is. As a result, many theories of leadership have been developed over the years to attempt to answer the most important questions: what is leadership, and how do organizations help leaders emerge? In this short book, fifteen leadership theories are summarized, along with case studies for both the K-12 and college environments.
From the trait approach to adaptive leadership, this short book explores the diverse leadership theories that have been created over the years, looking at how people have described leadership and what characteristics they identified as important for leaders to possess. Anyone in a leadership position or aspiring to lead an organization will appreciate the advice contained in this book, even if ultimately one's leadership style will never be determined by theories but rather by facts on the ground.
