This paper examines the contribution of trait-based theories to contemporary leadership approaches, focusing on transformational, transactional, and authentic leadership styles. It begins with an exploration of the Great Man Theory, which posits that leaders are born, not made, and transitions into a discussion on the trait-based leadership theory. Although the popularity of trait-based theories waned due to the inability to identify consistent traits among successful leaders, their impact remains significant. Key traits such as charisma, emotional intelligence, and the Big Five personality traits (openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism) are analyzed in the context of their relevance to modern leadership. The paper argues that understanding these traits can help organizations identify and develop potential leaders. Despite criticisms for neglecting situational factors, trait-based theories have provided valuable insights into the personal qualities that contribute to effective leadership.
