,Many theories have been developed on how to install leadership or what is
needed in an individual to be classified as a leader. Some of these theories are
known as a trait and behavioural theories. Since then the perspectives have
evolved to look at the entire organization or team and not just an individual. The
theories are more grounded in the relationship among members and shifted to
develop charismatic, visionary and transformational leaders.
The following theories are integrated approaches that can be applied in sports:
Transformational leadership Theory
The transformational leadership theory is an approach where both the leader
and participant is involved in a mutual process of developing higher levels of
motivation, moral reasoning and self-consciousness in line with the community
values.
The theory encourages collaboration and interrelationship where the follower
is just as important in the team. It believes that every member can lead, it is not
based on a title but the development of individual potential to encourage a
positive action to reach the collective goal.
Four components of transformational leadership
1. Idealized influence

, Leaders should act in a way to be role models and to inspire the team
members, in return trust and respect will develop in the relationship. The
coaches and captains earn the respect by upholding the team standards

2. Inspirational motivation
The leader should motivate the members by pursuing the purpose. The
members have an optimistic outlook and work with the leader to develop
an exciting future together.
The coach should identify what motivates each member and place them
in roles that will make them successful. The team must work together on
small victories that will contribute to the team's confidence.
3. Intellectual stimulation
Each member works within their strength that will create an environment
that is more creative and can overcome problems. Each individual's
abilities are improved through the process. This is most effective during
pre-season development session that incorporates goal-setting,
brainstorming plans and to develop accountability of each once role for
