Leadership Theories Lewin’s Big Three

Leadership Theories Lewin’s Big Three
Kurt Lewin (1890–1947) was the pioneering social psychologist credited with defining and differentiating between the three classical leadership styles or behaviors. Lewin, considered by many to be the founder of social psychology, made significant contributions to leadership studies, organizational theory, and management theory. Based on extensive leadership and group dynamics experiments, Lewin developed the concept of leadership climates. Lewin characterized leadership climates as authoritarian, democratic, or laissez-faire. His classic study observed the way children in groups completed art projects and how the leadership climate in the groups influenced the project outcomes.
