Answer 1

Answer:

Trait approach  

Explanation:

The trait approach theory was first given by Gordon Allport in the 1930s. It is also called a trait theory of leadership. In the beginning, there was found about 4500 traits that were later combined and finalized into three categories.  

• Central traits

• Cardinal traits

• Secondary traits

The trait theory has been criticizing because this theory has very little generalization results in their traits theory as not applicable to most of the great leaders. This theory focuses on the leadership but not on the situation.
