The two main theories I want to focus on are transactional and transformational theories.

Situational, contingency and instrumental leadership are task oriented and the leadership style may change after the completion of a task (Kriger & Seng, 2005), (Thompson & Vecchio, 2009).…
There are many varying styles of leadership. Transactional or authorative leadership focuses on power and status. The leadership style that focuses on unique qualities surrounding charisma is known by the terms transformal or charismatic. The last leadership style we will discuss is known as pluralistic leadership. This style revolves around group decision making, this style values the opinions of others.
