Question
What could be the differences and similarities between the theories?
1. SITUATIONAL THEORY: in it, leaders must adjust to the situation of their team and change their way of acting according to how this situation occurs. That is, they must modify the incentives, the forms of motivation they use, the demands they promote among employees, the ways of making decisions, among others.
2. PARTICIPATORY THEORY: This type of theory considers the role of the other in the decision-making process, without affecting the position of the leader, although always seeking the contribution of others over the imposition of forms of action. The objective that these theories seek is that those led feel valued and committed.
3. THEORY OF RELATIONSHIPS OR TRANSFORMATIONS: this is, without a doubt, the theory that most favors leaders. In it, the important thing is not only the performance of the group, but the maximum development of the potential of each member. A transformational leader will be one who manages to combine the interest of the group with the interest of each individual that makes it up. To do this, it seeks to gain their trust through a solid relationship of inspiration and mutual cooperation.
4. CONTINGENCY THEORY: they emphasize 04 leadership styles depending on the situation in which the leader finds himself. They focus on particular variables related to the environment that can determine which particular leadership style is best suited for the situation.
5. THEORY OF BEHAVIOR: They are based on the belief that great leaders are created, not born. According to this theory, people can learn to be leaders through teaching and observation.
