Success in leadership depends more on what the leader does than on his traits. The behavioral approach is based on the premise that effective leadership is the result of effective role behavior. There is a dynamic interaction between the leader and the followers, and leaders produce different styles while dealing with the workers.
Many behavioral scientists have attempted to identify appropriate behavioral patterns of leadership styles. Some of the important contributions in this regard include Ohio State Studies, Michigan University Studies and Managerial Grid of Blake and Mouton. The behavioral scientists don't concentrate on the traits of leaders, rather they study the activities of leaders to identify their behavioral patterns.
