Over the years four main classifications of leadership theories have emerged. These include Trait Theories; Behavioral Theories; Contingency Theories; together with Power and Influence Theories. The first of these groups refers to the best kind of person that has the makings of a good leader; the second of the groups relates to the kinds of things a good leader does to establish that hierarchy; the third group refers to how circumstance may affect the quality of leadership; whilst the final group explains the relationship between the accepted leader and where that actual recognition of leadership qualities emerged from.
