      I am pushing to involve our teachers more in the selection of devices and tools that will work best in their classrooms. Their feedback is critical to making sure we are spending our money on what will be most useful.

  • The Coaching Style or “Try this” develops people for the future and builds on developing others, empathy and self-awareness. This approach helps employees improve performance and develop long-term strengths. A school building leader program or school leadership conference would be in line with this leadership style.

    I did not think of "coaching" as a leadership style. But this is very appropriate, I think.

  • Participative Leadership.Participative leaders work with their staff members to guide the school and its programs
  • Bureaucratic Leadership.Bureaucrats generally prioritize according to established rules and regulations, some of which can inhibit innovation.
  • Charismatic Leadership.Charismatic individuals can exercise almost any leadership style and garner sufficient staff support to move the organization in the chosen direction.
  • Laissez-faire Leadership.Laissez-faire leaders allow staff members to determine the direction they wish to move individually or as a group
  • Benevolent Despot.Theoretically, benevolent despots use charm, good will and savoir faire to get exactly what they want.
  • Autocratic Leadership.Many people are drawn to, respect and gladly follow an autocrat — someone who possesses power and does not hesitate to use it to achieve goals.

    Again, not specific to technology leadership, but a different spin on different leadership strategies in supervision. I found these to be interesting in who I might learn best under, and how I might want to be supervised.

  • Servant Leadership takes the focus from the end goal to the people who are being led. There is no sense of self interest on the part of the leader, who steps back and supports only the interests of the followers.
  • ive and take is the hallmark of transactional leadership – it is indeed modeled just like a business transaction.
  • emotional leadership is concerned with the feelings and motivations of followers.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Transformational leadership takes from each of the other kinds of leadership its best qualities and then uses those, along with a deep sense of shared purpose, to motivate subordinates.
  • For education in particular, transformational leadership offers the best of everything – from tapping into the emotions of workers to offering the compensatory core that is the case for all forms of business, to guiding from a place of support.
  • However since transformational leadership is informed by all of these various types of leadership, it’s always a good idea for leaders to learn more about these other styles so as to offer a deeper understanding of these forms so as to offer those in whose service they are the best support and guidance possible.
