theories
b. transactional theory, great man theories, behavioural theory, contingency theory
c. transformational theory, great man theories, behavioural theory, contingency theory
d. contingency theories, great man theories, transactional theory, behavioural theories
Answer: a
Rationale for Correct Answer:
, a. Correct: The theories were built one upon the other. Great man theory
included cultural and societal views that suggested that great leaders were
born with inherited traits. This was abandoned because it did little to
predict who would turn out to be a leader. In behavioural theories, leaders
were divided into those who were task-oriented vs. people-oriented. This
was determined to be unhelpful—no one style was better than another and
effectiveness was setting-dependent. Contingency theories were based on
the assumption that leadership varied based on the situation and there was
a need for innovation. Interactional theories look at leadership style but
focus on how it varies depending on characteristics of followers.
b. Incorrect: This does not reflect how leadership theories developed out of
management theories.
c. Incorrect: This does not reflect how leadership theories developed out of
management theories.
d. Incorrect: This does not reflect how leadership theories developed out of
management theories.
