In this episode of Take the Leap Management, we explore Trait Theory, a leadership model that suggests effective leaders share common, inherent traits such as intelligence, confidence, and integrity. But does possessing these traits guarantee success? Can leadership qualities be developed, or are they purely innate? Join us as we examine the strengths and limitations of Trait Theory, its impact on leadership selection, and what it really takes to lead with impact.

Are Leaders Born or Made? Exploring the Great Man Theory In this episode of Take the Leap Management, we dive into one of the earliest leadership theories—the Great Man Theory.

But is leadership really an inherent trait, or can it be developed over time? We explore the origins of this theory, its influence on leadership thinking, and whether it still holds relevance in today’s world. Tune in as we challenge traditional assumptions and uncover what truly makes a great leader.
