Leadership Theories

Charismatic Leadership theory

Also called the “great man theory”

• Basic assumptions of this theory:
• Leaders in general, and great leaders in particular, have some special inborn qualities bestowed upon them by the divine power.
• These qualities are sufficient for them to be successful .
• Since these qualities are inborn they can not be enhanced by education.
• These qualities make leaders effective and situational factors do not have any influence.

• The desire to lead
• Honest and integrity
• Self-confidence
• Intelligence

Traits Theories of Leadership

Major qualities essential for leadership

• Emotional stability
• Human relations
• Objectivity
• Motivational skills
• Technical skills
• Communicative skills
• Social skills

Implications of theory

• Firstly, the theory emphasizes that leaders require some traits and qualities to be effective.
• Second, many of theses qualities and traits may be developed by individuals through training and development programs or purely through experience.

Limitations :

• No universal traits found that predict leadership in all situations.
• Traits predict behavior better in “weak” than “strong” situations.
• Unclear evidence of the cause and effect of relationship of leadership and traits.
• Better predictor of the appearance of leadership than distinguishing effective and ineffective leaders.

Behavioral Theories

• strong leadership is the result of effective role behavior.
• Leadership is shown by person’s act rather than trait.

Behavioral Theories of Leadership

Theories proposing that specific behaviors differentiate leaders from non leaders.

Leadership Styles

Is the method of coping with organizational reality which evolves out of traits and errors and is not deliberately, adopted or eventually organized by leader.

THEORIES OF LEADERSHIP.pptx

Journal of Leadership and Management; 2391-6087, 2018

The theoretical field of leadership is enormous-there is a need for an overview. This article maps out a selection of the more fundamental perspectives on leadership found in the management literature. It presents six perspectives: personal, functional, institutional, situational, relational and positional perspectives. By mapping out these perspectives and thus creating a theoretical cartography, the article sheds light on the complex contours of the leadership terrain. That is essential, not least because one of the most important leadership skills today is not merely to master a particular management theory or method but to be able to step in and out of various perspectives and competently juggle the many possible interpretations through which leadership is formed and transformed.

The objective of this term project was to distinguish leaders and managers and to compare the concepts of classical leadership and modern leadership. Styles of leadership that are vital for current businesses were investigated; differences in classical and modern management styles were presented, responsibilities of a leader for the concept of modern leadership were identified; and differences between a manager and a leader were introduced.

This paper offers a critical analysis of two leadership theories in relation to a case study. It evaluates the usefulness of different leadership theories to a leader in a specific situation. It also compares and contrasts the leadership theories and creates guidelines based on leadership theories for effective leadership

This short paper analyzes four leadership theories: XY, transformational, servant, and authentic leadership. Scholarly references and examples of each are given to shed light on their respective view of leadership.

IASET, 2020

This study provides a discussion on the basis of data collected with the help of a survey and a summary of the results of the data analysis. It also presents the research questions in context to their respective hypothesis and the analytical techniques to arrive at the conclusion. 360-degree leadership style feedback, readiness matrix software, and composite profile were used as a statistical analysis by the Centre for Leadership Studies Inc.

Shanlax International Journal of Commerce, 2020

The Humanities thinkers discuss the concept of leadership from a variety of dimensions. A group considers leadership as a part of the management's duties; another group believes there is a broader concept for leadership compared to management, and they consider it as the ability to persuade others to diligently seek to achieve certain goals, or they see them as activities that influence people to endeavor enthusiastically in order to achieve the influential group's goals, and others define leadership as influencing people to achieve a common goal (Rezaiean, 2011). Despite many definitions given about the leadership, some common points among all the above could be yet emphasized in case of the leadership definition. These common points are as follows (A) Leadership is a process (B) Leadership is mixed with change (C) Leadership occurs within a group (D) Leadership is purposeful (Afjeie, 2011).

Published: October 21, 2015

1. Chuck Norris, Actor

Chuck Norris has a personal code of honor and a good portion of it is about treating others kindly.

To be successful, we must simply be nice. That means talking to people honestly, and treating people’s opinions with respect and dignity.

3. Zig Ziglar, Motivational Speaker

Encouragement isn’t about flowering language and buzzwords. It’s about helping others imagine what they can become, then equipping them with the confidence, motivation, or resources to achieve their goals.

4. Lyndon B. Johnson, 36th President of the United States

When Lyndon B. Johnson became President after Kennedy’s assassination, Kennedy’s cabinet had planned on leaving. But Johnson convinced them to stay by appealing to their individual interests.

5. Bill Belichick, Head Coach for New England Patriots of the NFL

In order to help others improve, we must understand how to give feedback effectively, without offending.

6. Scott Raymond Adams, Creator of the Dilbert comic strip

Praise every improvement and we can see the confidence build in others.

7. Mary Kay Ash, Founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics

People are often the cornerstone of a business. Make them feel important and they’ll stick with you and work hard.

8. Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s Medical Expert

By encouraging others to speak about themselves, we can become better listeners and earn the trust of others.

Leadership Training Topics

Leadership Topics for Presentation and Discussion

Leadership Team Building Activities

Leadership exercises.

The following leadership training topics are great for leaders at any level. These work best in smaller meetings or groups. These topics are designed to generate great discussion and hopefully yield higher functioning managers.

Soft skills

Soft skills are personal attributes that enable someone to interact effectively and harmoniously with other people. These are critically important in today's workforce as now more than ever our workforces require employees to be able to communicate, work as a team, listen and get along with others. Here is a very brief list of soft skills but this topic is HUGE and you could easily turn each of these topics into presentations.

Communication

Problem-solving

Time management

Critical thinking

Decision-making

Organizational

Stress management

Adaptability

Conflict management

Resourcefulness

Openness to criticism

Change management

Today's world changes faster than arguably any other time in history. Between 24 hour news cycles, social media and the explosion in communication methods between individuals, managing change is an essential skill any leader must have. There are a couple of excellent books on this topic by John Kotter called Leading Change and Our Iceberg is Melting. You can also have a good discussion about how your team deals with change and how much change your organization has (or hasn't) had over the years.

Managing effective meetings

Meetings consume so much of the average working person's time. No matter what kind of job you have, meetings are most likely a part of their day or week at some point. How effective are your people at running effective meetings? When was the last time anyone ever thought about it?

A great subtopic for this presentation can be a study and/or game you can play with your attendees call meeting or email? I'm sure you could easily find a handful of examples of meetings that could have been emails (and vice versa) and let your attendees have some fun guessing. Don't be surprised when your team becomes very candid during this meeting about the need for meetings!

Performance management

Managing the performance of others is an extremely important part of any leader's job. Leader's must also be managers and cannot simply rely on connecting with and "leading" people. At the end of the day, we all have hard metrics we are responsible for. One of the most important ones, is the performance of those that work for us.

This topic doesn't get nearly as much attention as it should and I guarantee you can get some good discussions going around the most effective way to do this for you organization. You can discuss how often this happens, annually, bi-annually, monthly? You can discuss what format it is done in and how the teams respond to them. Get your groups thoughts on the effectiveness of your current system and brainstorm if there isn't a better way.

The Six Styles of Leadership

Developed by Daniel Goleman, the six styles have been a staple part of the discussion around situational leadership for awhile. They describe the different ways you need to lead depending on the situation, the people and various other factors. There is plenty of discussion to be had with this topic and is great for new leaders!

The six styles are as follows:

Visionary — mobilize people toward a vision. Works best when a clear direction or change is needed.

Coaching — develop people for the future. Works best when helping people and building long-term strength.

Affiliative — create emotional bonds and harmony. Works best to heal rifts in teams or motivate people in stressful times.

Democratic — build consensus through participation. Works best to create consensus or get input.

Pacesetting — expect excellence and self-direction. Works best to get quick results from a highly competent team.

Commanding — demand immediate compliance. Works best in crisis or with problematic people.

Managing an inbox

This is something that gets taken for granted all of the time and would make a great leadership topic for presentation. The organization, efficiency and 'cleanliness' of inboxes today can be a sensitive subject. No one wants to admit to having thousands of unread emails just sitting there but chances are, most of your leaders do.

How do you as a company manage that? When was the last time anyone cared? Effective inbox organization can do wonders in taking a manager from good to great. It might also get a good conversation started around communication as a whole in your organization.

Managing a calendar

Just like the inbox, calendar's are criminally misused or underused. They can be a great way to manage the obvious things like meetings and calls. However, they can also be a great way to hold teams accountable, document what you did for reflection and serve as a sort of task list for leaders.

Don't make the assumption that everyone knows how to use the calendars. Technology changes so fast and new features come out all of the time. Even if someone in leadership learned how to use outlook ten years ago in college, it might be completely different now!

Leadership Topics For Presentation & Discussion

This section is about topics that make for great discussions or presentations. Whether it be a small group or large one, these topics are always important in the world of business today.

Virtual leadership

Thanks to 2020, so many of us have had to get used to working virtually, which means we've also had to lead virtually as well. This topic is sure to generate discussion on what is working, not working and how everyone feels about it.

This is sure to be an important topic moving forward as companies must decide what their "new normal" is going to be. You might be surprised at how effective or ineffective working virtually is/was. It might open the door to other conversations surrounding flexibility in the workplace.

Most businesses come down to some sort of execution. Whether it be making widgets, serving guests, healing patients or selling goods, every business has some sort of metric when it comes to executing the core function of the business. When was the last time you discussed not only the results but overall execution as a whole? Can you guarantee that the way things are supposed to be done are actually being done?

Additionally, you can discuss training of new hires, repair and maintenance of equipment, employee productivity and anything that goes into actually getting the job done.

When was the last time your organization had a conversation about your company culture? Are expectations meeting reality? Does your team/company know what culture they are supposed to be creating? Having an open and honest conversation about your company culture is a healthy exercise for any company.

It is extremely important that there be a strong moderator for this conversation as it is easy to go off the rails with this subject. That statement shouldn't dissuade you from having the conversation though! A great book on this topic is Good to Great by Jim Collins.

Company specific leadership topics for discussion/presentation

Do you have specific tasks, goals, metrics or items that your leaders should be discussing with their teams? Have you set an agenda that is being pushed down through the organization? Putting together a list similar to this specific for your team might be helpful for your mid level leaders. This list can give them a clean and easily accessible company approved list of topics they should be discussing with their teams.

Giving your leaders a list of exercises that they could practice either by themselves or with their teams makes a great leadership training topic. It is always extremely important to develop yourself as a leader and the other leaders in your organization. Here are some leadership exercises to get you started.

Quality circles

This isn't so much a topic as an activity but is highly effective, especially if your group allows for crossover from different departments, regions, etc. It is amazing how sometimes just putting a fresh set of eyes on a situation can create positive discussions or solutions around a problem. Spend some times thinking about your attendees and split them into smaller groups.

Come up with a top 5 list of challenges or obstacles that each group might be facing and have them discuss it in a "nameless & rankless" frank discussion. Assign a note taker to each group and charge them with capturing key points and takeaways and for keeping the group on point.

Difficult leadership situations

This is a great topic to discuss with your leaders, especially if your group has a good mix of leadership experience and tenure in it. The following situations are always important to talk about and discuss/share with other leaders. The growth that can come from just talking through some of these situations is priceless. Depending on the size of your group, you can either discuss as a whole or break into small groups and have them discuss the following topics:

Dealing with difficult or problem employees

Handling your team's stress and pressure

Letting someone go

Delivering bad news

Leading an initiative you don't agree with

Managing underperforming employees

Internal leadership challenges

This often gets such little attention, yet is one of the most important factors leaders must deal with, their own feelings. Managing your own emotions and generally how you feel about something is way easier said than done. Just like the previous item, having a good mix of leadership experience and tenure is a great.

Just talking about how their fellow leaders handle the following topics can be vitally important for new leaders and great reminders and encouragement for experienced leaders. Unlike the previous item though, it is crucially important that attendees feel comfortable being open. It is one thing to talk about topics that impact others or are conceptual and something entirely different to discuss personal struggles!

Staying humble

Self confidence

Overcoming fear

Handling personal stress and pressure

Avoiding burnout

Staying motivated

Compartmentalizing competing priorities

Keeping work life balance

Situational leadership scenarios

Situational leadership is extremely important in today's modern workforce. Diversity of all types in employee bases has exploded in the last several decades. That means managers and leaders cannot treat everyone the same. A leader that understands using different leadership styles with different people and at different times is critical.

Develop some scenarios that are relevant to your group and ask them to decide how they would approach one differently over another. There is a fantastic book written by Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson on this topic called the One Minute Manager that is a quick read and is very beneficial to new leaders!

The following items are great team builders for small groups or meetings in any professional setting. They are designed to bring team's together, develop teamwork and give any observing leaders some data points about their people!

Build a building

Break your group into small even teams and provide them with their building materials consisting of any combination of the following:

index cards

tooth picks

playing cards

Don't stress over which materials you give them, just as long as it is enough to build a free standing building with! The object is simple, which team can build the largest free standing structure.

Things to consider with this activity:

How will you divide your teams? Be purposeful in how you break them up

Have the teams assign a 'project manager' ahead of time

Take mental notes of how the teams interact and how the assigned managers perform

Qualities of a leader

Break employees into teams and have them share leaders they admire (in any industry). Take notes on the characteristics that these leaders share, then give employees time and space to reflect on the characteristics they share with those leaders before identifying skills they would like to develop in themselves

Use employee notes on skills they would like to develop to design your own training opportunities.

Use employee notes and compare them to your organization. A sort of 'expectations vs reality' mental exercise.

These lists are in no way exhaustive we just think these leadership training activities are great for effective presentations or meetings that will grow the leadership abilities of your team! We'd love to hear from you in the comments below! Or feel free to shoot us an email [email protected]

Need to save this so you can easily remember? Here is a helpful picture you can save for when you need it!

How to Quickly Make Great Leadership PowerPoint Presentations

Once you've downloaded your free leadership templates, the next step is to customize them to meet your needs. Here are some tips to get you started. I'll be using the premium  Hexagon PowerPoint template . 

Let's get started:

1. Edit Your Slide Title and Subtitles

I'm going to use the title slide for this. Open the presentation and go to the title slide. Double-click to select the slide title and replace it with your chosen text. Follow the same procedure to edit subtitles.

2. Add Text to Slides

Use a similar procedure to edit body text. Double-click within a text box to select all the text, then replace it by typing your own. You can also paste in pre-prepared text. 

3. Add or Resize Images

Click the onscreen image placeholder to import an image from your computer. You can also resize any image by grabbing the handles of the image placeholder and dragging them till you get the size you want.

4. Remove Unwanted Elements

On any slide, click to select an image or text box you want to remove. Then use the Delete key on your keyboard to remove it. 

5. Remove Extra Slides

At the end of the customization process, there may be a few slides you don't need. Select these in PowerPoint's slide navigator and use the Cut command to remove them.

5 Tips for a More Effective Leadership Presentation

You need your leadership PPT to engage your audience. Here are some tips to help you create a great leadership presentation:

1. Use Minimal Design

When making your leadership PPT presentation it's important to keep the information on slide minimal. You want your audience to focus on you and not be reading the slide. Having a minimal design also works because the design doesn’t make the slide overcrowded. An overcrowded slide can cause the audience to be distracted.

2. Choose the Right Font

Using the right font in your leadership PPT is important. You want the font to match the theme of your leadership PPT. You also need your font to be easily read by everyone who may see your presentation. Some fancy fonts can be hard to read.

To learn more about which fonts work well in presentations, study this tutorial:

3. Use Infographics and Graphs

Infographics are a great tool to use in your leadership presentation. Infographics use graphics to show data and other information. Infographics are also a great way to engage your audience and help them to retain information. 

4. Align Your Objects

Whether you’re creating your own leadership presentation or customizing a template, make sure objects and text are aligned. If text and objects aren’t aligned, it can look unprofessional and sloppy.

This tutorial will show you how to align objects:

5. Use High Quality Visuals

There are many types of visuals such as:

• infographics

If you've got these elements in your leadership PPT it's important that that they're high quality. If your visuals are low quality, it can look unprofessional or like you don't care.

Envato Elements is a good source for high quality images and infographics . They also have video templates that you can customize and add to your presentation. 

5 Leadership Presentation Design Trends for 2024

If you're giving a leadership PPT presentation, you want it to be up to date. A boring and dated look could make a bad impression.

Here are some popular leadership presentation design trends:

1. Muted Colors

Previously bright vibrant colors were on trend, but now muted colors are taking over. Muted colors are more calming and give an authentic and natural feel. Muted colors work well with both light and dark font making it easier to design your slides.

2. Geometric Shapes

Geometric shapes in the design of leadership presentations is the newest trend. Geometric shapes give a nostalgic and retro feel to your presentation. Geometric shapes also make fun and unique backgrounds.

 3. Animated Slides

Animated slides keeps your audience’s attention on your leadership presentation. Adding animation to a slide can make information and that slide more exciting. Animated slides are impressive and will impress your audience.

4. Alternate Between Color Slides and White Slides

Alternating colors on the slides keeps them visually interesting for the audience. You could use your company brand colors and alternate between them to reenforce your brand recognition. The color change between slides could also signal a topic change in your presentation.

5. Gradient Colors

A gradient color pattern is where one color gradually fades into another color. Gradient colors are a great way to add interest to your slides without going over the top. Gradient colors can be used as the background of your slides or for  objects on the slide.
