What are Leadership Theories ?

The Leadership Theories course discusses the traits and behaviours that individuals can adopt to boost their own leadership abilities. It also helps us understand what makes leaders act the way they do. 

In this course, we look at the qualities of leaders, the role of leaders and the different leadership styles. We also look at a development strategy for leadership. Organisations need both strong leaders and managers to be truly successful. The one does not replace, but rather complement the other.  

The last section of this course covers the trait model of leadership, and the difference between transformational, transactional, visionary and servant leadership.
