THEORIES OF LEADERSHIP:
TRAIT PERSPECTIVE:
- leaders have a genetic disposition/ innate characteristics that show leader qualities
- great leaders are born & not made
- leadership traits are stable & enduring - people find themselves leaders in whatever situation they're in
SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY:
- leadership characteristics are learned from others through vicarious learning - watching & copying
- if u observe a model showing leadership behaviour, you are more likely to copy that's higher status than you,
INTERACTIONALIST APPROACH:
- an individual may well have certain in-born traits e.g assertiveness but they are not evident unless a situation demands leadership behaviour
- explains why some people are not generally leaders in everyday life but they can show leadership qualities in sporting situations
EMERGENT LEADERS: - come from within the group because they are skilful or because the rest of the team selected them
ADVANTAGES:
- can win over the 'hearts and minds' of team mates because they are recognised as being one of their own rather than an unknown outsider
DISADVANTAGES:
- may lack objectivity and have their own friendships within the group that may colour their judgements
-
LEADERSHIP: an individual having enough influence over the behaviour of others to motivate them to follow the individuals own set goals
EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP QUALITIES:
- good communication
- high motivation
- enthusiasm
- having a clear goal/vision of what needs to be achieved
- empathy
- charisma
- good at sport
- good knowledge of sport
