Leadership Theories & Models

Just as Darwin's revolutionary theories transformed our understanding of natural selection, leadership frameworks provide structured approaches to comprehending the complex dynamics of organisational influence. From Lewin's foundational work to Goleman's Emotional Intelligence model, from Hersey and Blanchard's Situational Leadership to the more recent Authentic Leadership paradigm championed by Bill George, these frameworks offer valuable lenses through which to analyse and enhance leadership practice. The Financial Times reports that organisations implementing evidence-based leadership models show a 37% increase in leadership effectiveness over five years. Which theories might most effectively address your current business challenges? This section examines influential leadership models with particular attention to their practical application in contemporary British and global business environments.
