Leadership Theories

The earliest study of leadership regarded as distinctively psychological has been attributed to Niccolo di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (1469-1527) in his book De Principatibus or Il Principe ('The Prince').

Leadership refers to the management and direction of a group of people or an organization. Theories on leadership vary in their perspectives and emphasis. Some emphasize the notion of specific leadership traits such as the Contingency Leadership Theory while others suggest that different leaders are required for different situations.
