ABSTRACT: Ever since the evolution there are more and more types of theories evolving with a different style. Based on the previous theories new theories are updated and I would like to consider all the theories and frame my own theory so that it will be beneficial to me as well as the organization. As gone through different theories and their benefits I mostly liked the transformational and leader member exchange theories. I would like to adopt these in my leadership with my style by minimizing the weaknesses.
