Abstract
The concept of leadership has fascinated men arguably since the beginning of our existence. Intellectuals such as Stogdill, Lewin, Burns, House, Bass, and many others have all contributed to the existing body of knowledge on leadership. Scholars have been consistently seeking to unlock the mysteries of leadership, and throughout the 20th century there have been numerous approaches to it. The writers of this paper will explore the historical foundations of various approaches to leadership thought, in an attempt to use it as a base for future inquiry into the phenomenon that has been a source of intrigue for centuries. The construct Proactive Leadership will also be introduced as a new way to examine leadership in the context of managing change and diversity.
