Leadership Theories Chart. Breakthrough Leadership

Leadership Theory	Definition	Main Concepts
Situational leadership	A leadership theory that merges both directive and supportive dimensions, which need to be applied correctly in a given situation (Ghazzawi, Shoughari, & Osta, 2017).	Situational leadership is based on the relation between the task behavior, listening, support, and value. It claims that there is no single right way to lead. It considers both individual and organizational needs (Walls, 2019).
Transformational leadership	A leadership theory where a leader encourages, inspires, and motivates employees to participate in the transformation process of the organization (Milanov, 2018)	Transformational leaders aim to transform others. The main focus is on long-term goals. The four main components are ideal influence, inspiring motivation, mental persuasion, and personal consideration (Chow, Salleh, & Ismail, 2017).
Transactional leadership	A leadership theory where leaders focus on gaining compliance by giving and withholding rewards and benefits (Lee, 2020).	Transactional leadership Is defined by control, organization, and short-term planning (Lee, 2020). Rewards and punishment are believed to be motivating for followers. Adhering to leaders’ instructions is the primary goal of followers. Followers have to be monitored to ensure that performance standards are met (Lee, 2020).
Breakthrough leadership	A leadership theory where leaders use the openings created by extraordinary events to explore new possibilities for their organization (Baker, n.d.)	Breakthrough leadership is founded on systematic, disciplinary understanding. Breakthrough leaders lead individuals, not companies. They act as leaders, managers, and coaches (Sayle & Kumar, 2019).
