Do Certain Personalities Make Better Leaders? LMG Global Investigates

    TORONTO, ON, April 01, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- There are a huge range of variables that can influence a person's ability to lead, or how effective they are as a leader. People obtain different skills throughout their lives which can dictate how they choose to lead. For example, those with a background in sports will often make their previous teamwork skills a core aspect of their leadership in business. It's also been claimed that life experiences themselves, and situational factors can greatly influence a person's leadership style. Someone who has spent their life working hard for other people may be more empathetic with those in their own team than people who have never really experienced what it means to be 'led'. LMG Global believes that it is this wide range of experiences and skills that have led to the business world having such a huge bank of extremely talented leaders. To evaluate just how much past experiences and skills can shape a person's leadership ability, the firm have reviewed some of businesses most popular leadership theories.

The Great Man Theory

This theory although common, is often unpopular among many professionals. The great man theory suggests that all great leaders are born with the necessary skills and characteristics and is often used in conjunction with great leaders from history. LMG Global are firm believers that everyone has the potential to be a successful leader, and that leadership requires individuals to be constantly learning and growing.


Behavioural Theories

These theories focus on the actions of a leader rather than mental qualities or internal states. Behavioural theories state that leadership and leadership approaches can be learnt and adapted through observing the behaviours of others.

Participation Theories

Participative leadership theories focus on how the needs and opinions of others can shape a person's leadership style. A great leader should always be working with their team, rather than controlling them and these theories promote how listening and taking on board the ideas of others can help a person to become a more effective leader.

LMG Global believes that there is no real concrete theory for leadership, and that different aspects from all of the above theories can combine to make a highly effective business leader. The firm are great believers that everyone has leadership potential and that with the right guidance, support and drive anyone can fulfil their leadership capabilities. To promote this thinking LMG Global have developed their own internal leadership program which teaches their representatives the core foundations of great leadership and business management.
