Abstract
Traditional leadership theories focused on the individual as the “leader” and noted specific skills and characteristics of a leader.

Effective leadership must consider relationships and actions of the members, leader-member interactions, the nature of the task, abilities of the members, and change management. This chapter examines leadership theories and provides a definition of innovative leadership within the context of higher education. Additionally, contingency theory and distributed leadership are critically examined. However, the crux of the arguments emphasize that distributed leadership is akin to innovative leadership in higher education.
