Abstract

The evolution of leadership theories reflects a progressive journey from traditional, trait-based models to dynamic, inclusive, and transformative paradigms that address the complexities of modern organizations. This literature-based review examines key leadership theories, including the Great Man theory, trait theory, behavioral theories, contingency models, and modern approaches such as transformational, transactional, and servant leadership. It critically analyzes the strengths and limitations of each theory within organizational management contexts. The study underscores the importance of adaptive, ethical, and culturally sensitive leadership to meet the challenges of globalization, technological advancement, and evolving workforce expectations. Additionally, it highlights the growing relevance of digital, authentic, and inclusive leadership as organizations transition to more flexible and human-centered management models. By synthesizing past and current leadership frameworks, this review provides valuable insights for scholars and practitioners to enhance leadership effectiveness and strategic alignment in today’s complex organizational landscape.
