Great Man Theory and Trait Theory of Leadership

  1. Great Man Theory of Leadership: One of the early notions of leadership, which is still popular in certain circle, is that leadership is an inborn quality.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

This is the Great Man Theory of leadership which asserts that leaders in general and great leaders in particular are born and not made. According to the theory, leadership calls for certain qualities like charm, persuasiveness, commanding personality, high degree of intuition, judgment, courage, intelligence, aggressiveness and action orientation which are of such a nature that they cannot be taught or learnt in a formal sense.

One either has them or does not have them. Leadership qualities are carried in the genes. In other words, they are inborn, or- something inherited in family from generation-to-generation. Examples are drawn from such great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Mao Tse Tung, Kamal Ataturk, Abraham Lincoln, General de Gaulle and others. They were born natural leaders with built-in qualities of leadership and attained greatness by divine design.
