for a position, being “political,” or otherwise
manoeuvring themselves into a position.

possession or seize the position through
positive or negative means.
● Examples: school principals, city mayor,
dictator

● Some people become leaders because they
possess personal or professional qualities that
are recognized as beneficial and undeniable
and areappropriate for meeting the team’s
needs at a particular time.
● Examples: project manager of a business,

Some people become leaders simply because
●
other team members are unwilling or unable
to accept the position or responsibility.
● Example: someone in a small discussion group

The categories also overlap, resulting in many ways that
someone can attain a leadership position. Leaders can perform
at high levels and make valuable contributions to their teams,
regardless of how they were selected or designated as leaders.
