This approach is leader-centered in the sense that it prioritizes the skills and proficiencies of the leader. It implies that a leader's capacity for effective leadership results from their own abilities and skills rather than from innate qualities or other influences. What are the implications of this theory (or approach) on the leader? For example, how is it (or, is it not) leader-centered, and what does it tell us about the leader and/or the leader’s part in the process of leadership?

Building relationships with their followers, encouraging participation, and establishing trust are all ways that leaders can increase their effectiveness by knowing the effects that their leadership style has on followership.

Process This approach has limited implications for understanding the process of leadership. It suggests that influence flows in a single direction, determined by the characteristics of the leader. It ignores the ways in which followers can shape the leader's approach, style, and general course. This approach places a strong emphasis on applying certain abilities to accomplish objectives. While followers benefit from good delegating and mentoring, leaders use their strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities to define the course.
