ANSWER:

The similarity between the trait and behavioral leadership theories is that they are both universal theories, or they are seeking one best leadership style for all situations.

ANSWER:

A few reasons why leadership is so important include:

  • The success of individual careers and the fate of organizations are determined by the effectiveness of leaders's behavior.

103. How can the shift in paradigm from management to leadership possibly help-and hurt-the management profession?

ANSWER:

The shift in paradigm from management to leadership can help the management profession because it places an emphasis on the people side of the job, which has been shown to increase organizational performance. It can hurt the profession if people do not realize that there is overlap between the two paradigms and simplistically stereotype people as either managers or leaders. A successful organization needs both managers and leaders.

ANSWER:

The leadership theory paradigms includes the trait theory paradigm, the behavioral leadership theory paradigm, the contingency leadership theory paradigm, the integrative leadership theory paradigm, and the management to the leadership theory paradigm.

​

Leadership trait theories attempt to explain distinctive characteristics accounting for leadership effectiveness.

Behavioral leadership theories attempt to explain distinctive styles used by effective leaders, or to define the nature of their work.

Contingency leadership theories attempt to explain the appropriate leadership style based on the leader, followers, and situation.

Integrative leadership theories attempt to combine the trait, behavioral, and contingency theories to explain successful, influencing leader−follower relationships.

The management to the leadership theory paradigm is a shift from the older autocratic management style to the newer participative leadership style of management.
