      I think this is an important quality for all leaders!
  • There are always fires to put out and deadlines to meet, but when you don't have a lot of extra time, setting time aside to learn can be difficult. However, professional development and continued growth are the only surefire ways to make sure you don't get left behind in the tech world.

  • forbes1977 on 10 Mar 19
     
    I feel these traits carry over from IT Leader to being the technology coordinator. The traits that actually stand out to me include "Continue to Learn and Grow", very important with technology and in education in general. And having great problem-solving skills when it comes to "fixing" technology and finding a solution for a teacher struggling to integrate technology.

The three characteristics she praises would the direct rider, motivate the elephant, and most likely shape the path.

A Review of Leadership Theories, Principles and Styles and Their Relevance to Education... - 3 views

  • This study was motivated by the premise that no nation grows further than the quality of its educational leaders.
  • The
  • purpose of this theoretical debate is to examine the wider context of leadership and its effectiveness towards improving school management.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • To many, leaders are not born, but made. It is increasingly accepted, however, that in order to be a good leader, one must have the experience, knowledge, commitment, patience, and most importantly the skill to negotiate and work with others to achieve goals.
  • Good leaders are thus made, not born
  • Great man theories assume that the capacity for leadership is inherent, that great leaders are born, not made
  • the trait theory assumes that people inherit certain qualities or traits make them better suited to leadership.
  • Contingency theories of leadership focus on particular variables related to the environment that might determine which style of leadership is best suited for a particular work situation.
  • Situational theory proposes that leaders choose the best course of action based upon situational conditions or circumstances.
  • Behavioural theories of leadership are based on the belief that great leaders are made, not born.
  • articipative leadership theories suggest that the ideal leadership style is one that takes the input of others into account.
  • P
  • Transactional theories, also known as management theories, focus on the role of supervision, organization and group performance and the exchanges that take place between leaders and followers. These theories base leadership on a system of rewards and punishments (Charry, 2012).
  • Relationship theories, also known as transformational theories, focus on the connections formed between leaders and followers. In these theories, leadership is the process by which a person engages with others and is able to “create a connection” that results in increased motivationand morality in both followers and leaders. 
  • This theory states that learned knowledge and acquired skills/abilities are significant factors in the practice of effective leadership. Skills theory by no means refuses to acknowledge the connection between inherited traits and the capacity to lead effectively, but argues that learned skills, a developed style, and acquired knowledge, are the real keys to leadership performance.
  • Autocratic leadership is an extreme form of transactional leadership, where leaders have complete power over staff. Staff and team members have little opportunity to make suggestions, even if these are in the best interest of the team or organization
  • Bureaucratic leaders follow rules rigorously, and ensure that their staff also follow procedures precisely.
  • Charismatic leadership theory describes what to expect from both leaders and followers. Charismatic leadership i
  • a leadership style that is identifiable bu
  • may be perceived with less tangibility than other leadership styles
  • Democratic leaders make the final decisions, but include team members in the decision-making process. They encourage creativity, and team members are often highly engaged in projects and decisions.
  • Laissez-faire leadership may be the best or the worst of leadership styles (Goodnight, 2011). Laissez-faire, this French phrase for “let it be,” when applied to leadership describes leaders who allow people to work on their own. Laissez-faire leaders abdicate responsibilities and avoid making decisions, they may give teams complete freedom to do their work and set their own deadlines.
  • This leadership style starts with the idea that team members agree to obey their leader when they accept a job.

What Kind of Leader Are You? Traits, Skills and Styles - 4 views

traits skills styles leader leadership approaches ideas quality

shared by anonymous on 26 Jan 17 - No Cached
  • The autocratic style is one in which a single person takes control and makes decisions, directing others in his or her chosen course of action. Lewin’s team found that this was the most unsatisfactory leadership style with the youth groups. In a democratic leadership style, one person takes control but is open to group input, often allowing the group to make decisions and collectively assign tasks. This leader guides rather than directs. This was the most popular leadership style in the youth groups and garnered the greatest positive response. With the laissez-faire approach, the person in charge stepped back and did nothing. He or she provided no direction or guidance. The group was disorganized and unproductive.
  • Modern leadership traits and skills Since the advancement of situational leadership, a number of other leadership styles have been identified. Peter Economy, also known as "The Leadership Guy," recently listed the qualities of today's best leadership in an Inc.com article. He encourages embodiment of these merits at all times to achieve phenomenal results. They are: Decisiveness Awareness Focus Accountability Empathy Confidence Optimism Honesty Inspiration
  • anonymous on 26 Jan 17
     
    This was really interesting because it talked about situational leadership and how all of the listed kinds are great in different situations. It opened my eyes a bit to see how not one style is the right style.
