Rationale For Correct Answer:
, t
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.
