Abstract

This Paper reviews the existing literature on leadership and the various theories that scholars have developed over time. It provides a systematic overview of leadership research, offering insights into the key theories and leadership styles proposed by different researchers. The review begins by examining the concept of leadership from diverse scholarly perspectives and then highlights the evolution of leadership theories from ancient times to the modern era, clarifying the various leadership styles introduced by scholars. The study observes that while leadership theories and practices have been continually refined and modified over time, earlier works have remained relevant and influential. However, the review also reveals that no single theory fully captures the complexity of leadership. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a blended approach to understanding leadership and its practices, recognizing that various contextual factors may influence leadership effectiveness in different situations.
