Good Day, I am having trouble understanding the different leadership theories. I have several different resources that I am using for study (ACCA-X, OpenTuition, Kaplan and BPP) from several different years (2015-2020). The problem is that they refer to different names for the theories and list the corresponding writers under these theories. Here are some examples:
Kaplan Pocket Notes 2015 – Transformational Theories, Bennis and Heifetz – Behavioural Theories, Blake and Mouton and Ashridge – Contingency Theories, Fiedler and Adair
ACCA-X Course 2020 – Trait Theory – Functional Theory, Adair – Situational Theory, – Contingency Theory, Fiedler – Transformational Theories – Style Theories, Blake and Mouton and the Ashridge school
BPP Interactive Text 2017 – Trait Theories – Style Theories, Blake and Mouton and the Ashridge school – Contingency Theories, Fiedler, Adair, Bennis and Heifetz
I am confused with the contingency theories and their writers, they seem to overlap and I am not sure as to which theory they each belong. Are these changes caused by the syllabus changing or am I missing something?
Thank you for any help, Christy
