Our aim is to understand the practice of leadership research and the applicability of leadership theory approaches. To achieve this, we devise an interview questionnaire to explore leadership traits, behaviours and contingency variables. We then pilot the questionnaire by conducting an interview. We find that the traditional approaches to leadership studies are relevant to understand leadership. However, we note that the distinction between trait, behaviour and contingency approaches is not as clear cut as presented in core leadership textbooks. The piloting process establishes that the interview questionnaire is suitable for exploring leadership and can be applied in bachelor’s and master’s thesesČlanek obravnava tradicionalne modele in teorije vodenja, in sicer model osebne značilnosti, vedenjsko teorijo ter situacijsko teorijo. Članek razvije razumevanje o raziskovalni praksi vodenja z aplikacijo tradicionalnih modelov in teorij vodenja. V ta namen oblikujemo vprašalnik za raziskovanje osebnih značilnosti, vedenja in situacijskih spremenljivk vodenja. Vprašalnik nato preizkusimo z izvedbo pilotnega intervjuja. Ugotavljamo, da so tradicionalni pristopi še vedno pomembni in aktualni za razumevanje vodenja. Hkrati ugotavljamo, da se teme prepletajo in da je včasih težko razmejiti tematike tradicionalnih modelov ter teorij. V diskusiji zaključimo, da je vprašalnik primeren za raziskovanje vodenja na diplomski in magistrski ravniTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza na Primorskem, Fakulteta za management
