BEHAVIOR LEADERSHIP THEORY
````Page 1 '
What really makes a good leader ? Psychologist and managers tried to
answer this question . ````Chronologically , the first answer to what
makes a good leader was that leaders are not made , they are born (Fairholm , 1991 . This was the first theory of Leadership , the Great
Men Theory . Many other theories were divided by Fairholm and these are
the following : theories based on who the leader is , wherein this group
focuses on the leader``s characteristic theories based on what the
leader does , wherein the behavior theory belong to this group . It is
focused on studying leaders ' behavior so that it can be reproduced by
followers and the theories based on the Environment of the Leadership .
Leadership is a difficult topic to study because leadership is a
