Abstract
The earliest writers on leadership belonged to two major schools. The environmentalists regarded leadership as a product of circumstance and a focus of group activities. The personalist explained leadership in terms of traits that enable an individual to obtain respect and obedience. Small group research after World War II stimulated the development of exchange theories and expectancy-reinforcement theories. The most recent developments comprise path-goal theory and contingency theory.
