Training Overview

Training Overview

“There’s nothing so practical as a good theory,” noted Kurt Lewin, the founder of social psychology. Yet when it comes to leadership, the sheer number of theories can seem overwhelming. Why is that?

One key reason is the diversity of perspectives and definitions surrounding leadership. More importantly, leadership is constantly evolving. Unlike the hard sciences, leadership doesn't follow fixed rules—each situation presents its own unique challenges. This is why modern leaders must be able to draw from the insights and experiences of those who came before them. The ability to selectively apply elements from various leadership theories allows leaders to tailor their approach for more effective outcomes.

Many leadership theories share common elements, which can be combined and adapted to meet ever-changing demands. However, leaders must recognize that what worked in one industry, at one time, and with one type of leader may no longer apply. It’s essential to test and adapt theoretical approaches to suit the current professional environment.
