One of the theories is the trait theory of leadership, which suggests that leaders are born not created. I disagree with this theory because I believe that can be made, though I also believe that there are some leaders that are born.
Another theory in the book is called the charismatic leadership theory. It states that leaders emerge in times of crisis and turmoil such as MLK, Churchill, and many others. In the book it states they "fulfill the unmet emotional needs of their completely trusting, overly dependant followers" These leaders are very influential, the may be influential for good or bad.
The book also talks about a few styles of leadership. The one I connect with is the democratic style. I like this style because I like to take in others Ideas, and make sure they feel needed. It also allows me to take in ideas that I may have not thought of.
