ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the growth in behavioural leadership theories starting with the success of US military leadership during and after World War II. It discusses the work of Lewin, Tannenbaum and Schmidt, who created contingency theory, and Blake and Mouton, who developed the concept of leadership orientation and its measurement. The chapter also discusses Followership and the work of Robert Kelley, linking its provenance back to Winchester College’s emblematic ‘Trusty Servant’.
