In a comprehensive review of leadership theories, several different categories were identified by Stogdill (1974) that capture the essence of the study of leadership in the twentieth century. The first category dealt with the attributes of great leaders. Leadership was explained by the internal qualities with which a person is born. The thought was that if the traits that differentiated leaders from followers could be identified, the successful leaders could be quickly identified and put into positions of leadership. Personality, physical, and mental characteristics were examined. This research was based on the idea that leaders were born, not made, and the key to success was simply in identifying those people who were born to be great leaders. Through much research was done to identify the traits, no clear answer was found with regard to which traits consistently were associated with great leadership. One flaw with this line of thought was ignoring the situational and environmental factors that play a role in a leader's level of effectiveness. The study of workplace is concerned with how people feel while they are engaged in work, or during the off period in the workplace. The study of this kind has been referred to or labelled as organizational character, milieu, atmosphere, organizational ideology, ecology, field, situation, informal organization, and more recently climate and culture (Hoy, 1991).
