Abstract
This document offers a comparative analysis of foundational and contemporary leadership theories. It begins with traditional theories such as the Great Man Theory, Trait Theory, Behavioral Theory, and Contingency Theory, which focus on inherent traits, observable behaviors, and situational factors influencing leadership. It then explores emerging theories, including Charismatic, Authentic, Ethical, Spiritual, and Transformational Leadership, which emphasize values, integrity, emotional intelligence, and adaptability. The resource provides a clear understanding of how leadership concepts have evolved, equipping educators with insights into selecting and applying leadership approaches suitable for modern educational contexts
