Except Solution
Most Common Experienced Organizational theories and Approach as Business Developer
As a Market Analyst one would readily experience and practice many leadership theories in the process of learning. Of course, the literature on various leadership theories are growing on a daily basis and times seems to contradict to popular knowledge on leadership theories and practice. In as much as there is no generally acceptable best theory on leadership, there are, however, some theories of leadership that as a market analyst we readily come across and practice. The most popular leadership theories practiced by professionals are built from the major perspective of leadership: leadership as a process and leadership as a combination of some characteristics; acquired or inborn.
In the early days, leadership is seen as inborn traits/characteristics. As such an individual is either born leaders with some qualities and not if he/she lacks those traits. This theory was criticized and the skill theory of leadership emerged, the skill theory argued that leadership skill can be learned and acquired over time. However, the problem still lies in lack of no consensus skills that must be learned leading to the spring of another yet a better theory which argues that different situation calls for different leadership styles.
