WORK IN PROGRESS - NOT FOR REVIEW
Over time, we have developed different ways to conceptualize leadership. Though some ideas contradict each other, not all of them are exclusive and some even supplement one another.
Leadership from a personality perspective
the idea that leadership is in a person's personality (a combination of traits and characteristics) drive him to become a leader and take up leadership
skills perspective
The idea that different skills and knowledge make a good leader. Emphasizing leadership is something that grows over time by experience and study.
Leadership as a group process
Leadership is something that occurs within groups. In different group settings, there may be different leader. In this conceptualization the leader is central in the group.
Leadership as act or behaviour
Leadership as something you do. You lead. Leadership as the power relationship between leaders and followers
Transformational Approach
The idea that leadership is about elevating followers into a higher/better self; some sort of transcendence.
