"The art of restraining power."
Henry Kissinger
American diplomat & political scientist who served as the 56th United States Secretary of State from 1973 to 1977.
In this video, I explore the significance of the trait-based model of leadership, which dates back to 1840 in the research and was a natural progression from the "Great Man Theory". I have found in my research that both of these theories when applied in isolation of developmental psychology principles, humanistic psychology on human motivational needs and character development allow dysfunctional even alarming forms of leadership to emerge.
I explain why a new model is necessary or a combination of models is required in 2026 given the emergence of AI, the disintegration of human systems and the need for collaborative approaches to global economic negotiations. Nations, governments and businesses that integrate and train workforces on the more integrative forms of leadership will likely enjoy accelerated economic progress and innovation. Nations that are in bondage with older models of leadership and the "Great Man Theory" will begin to slow in progress and be replaced by more evolved nations and human systems.
Leadership is likely the most researched topic in social science but the least understood. The trait-based model of leadership when used in isolation in modern society can be a petri dish for deceptive practices, organized crime, social deviance weaknening domestic and global security.
As we witness the disintegration of human systems dependent on only this outdated leadership model, you are probably wondering. How can we repair it? To address this, the model's character needs to be revised and revamped. Moreover our understanding of leadership must evolve beyond the "Great man theory" and trait-based leadership. I cover the following topics to spark a dialogue and get us ready for change:
The trait-based leadership model has been studied since the 1900s. Is it still relevant today, or should it be combined with other leadership models to update our understanding of what constitutes a leader?
Authoritarian & micromanagement styles of leadership
Extraversion and narcissism
Emerging leadership styles critical for global collaboration & leadership development.
Structural leadership
Feminine expressiveness (communication & ability to see the other's point of view) vs. masculine instrumentality: How do we combine the two to improve leadership?
Transformational leadership (Bernard Bass & Ronald Riggio) and the use of individual consideration to engage and motivate employees.
Structural leadership and its uses and limitations for follower acceptance.
Task leadership
Communal strength and group satisfaction driven by leadership styles.
