Which leadership theory holds the belief that leaders cannot be developed but are just born with the appropriate qualities needed for leadership?
1. Situational theory
2. Transactional leadership theory
3. Contingency theory
4. Great man theory
Answer: 4
Rationale: Those subscribing to the Great Man Theory of leadership believe great leaders are born with the necessary attributes needed for leadership. Situational theory and contingency theory each describe leadership traits needed in different situations, and contend that no certain traits can be listed as needed for every effective leader. The traits required of a leader are contingent on the situation being experienced by the leader. Transactional leadership theory describes a particular leadership style that is "this for that," or focused on the transactions encountered on the job.
