# Functional Theory
[Consequentialism](consequentialism.md) analogue.
Assesses leadership through the outcomes achieved in terms of meeting goals/functions.
Could look at the intention or not.
[^1]
## Effectiveness
"a leader can be said to have done their job well when contributing to group effectiveness and cohesion." [^2]
Contrasts to [trait theory](Trait%20Theory.md) by showing leadership depends on what leaders do, not who they are.
