5
  • How can we define the word (Leadership?)
  • A simple definition of leadership is that
  • Leadership is the art of motivating a group of
    people to act towards achieving a common goal.
  • Educational leadership
  • A process essentially focuses on improving the
    quality of teaching, learning and educational
    outcomes and promoting the best thinking about
    teaching and learning..

6
Are good leaders made or born?
  • Good leaders develop through a never ending
    process of self-study, education, training, and
    experience.
  • To inspire your workers into higher levels of
    teamwork, there are certain things you must be,
    know, and, do. These do not come naturally, but
    are acquired through continual work and study.

7
A leadership style
  • is an approach of giving direction, motivating
    people and implementing plans.
  • Why do we need to know the leadership styles?
  • Match the style with the person
  • Match the style with the situation

Understanding Leadership Styles
  • The leadership styles we look at here are
  • Autocratic leadership (Authoritarian).
  • Charismatic leadership (Transformational)
  • Democratic leadership(Participative-Supportive).
  • Laissez-faire leadership (Delegative free reign)

9
Task
  • Match the leadership style with its proper
    traits

traits Leadership style
Autocratic Democratic Delegative Charismatic.
10
  • Autocratic leadership (Authoritarian)
  • Traits
  • The leader defines roles and tasks
  • This style is somewhat hard and unemotional
  • One way communication , I tell-you listen
  • One person has control over all of the workers or
    followers

11
Charismatic Leadership(transformational
leadership)
  • Traits
  • The leader injects huge doses of enthusiasm into
    his team
  • The leader is very energetic in driving others
    forward.
  • A charismatic leader can tend to believe more in
    him than in his team.
  • Success is tied up with the presence of the
    charismatic leader.

12
Democratic Leadership (Participative )
  • Communication becomes more two- way
  • The leader becomes more of a facilitator and
    takes part in decision making process
  • The leader invites other members of the team to
    contribute to the decision-making process
  • As participation takes time, this style can lead
    to things happening more slowly, but often the
    end result is better.
  • It also helps to develop peoples skills. team
    members are motivated to work hard.

13
  • Laissez-Faire Leadership (Delegative/ Free reign)
  • Team members control the day to day decision
    making and involve the leader when needed
  • It can be effective if the leader monitors what
    is being achieved and communicates this back to
    his or her team regularly.
  • Most often, laissez-faire leadership works for
    teams in which the individuals are very
    experienced and skilled self-starters.
  • This delegative style is best used in situations
    where the leader has complete confidence in his
    people.

14
Task
  • Watch the following four videos and match them
    with these four styles
  • Charismatic
  • Autocratic

  • Which leadership style do you most identify with
    ? Why ?

20
Using the Right Style Situational Leadership
  • There is no one right way to lead that suits
    all situations.
  • To choose the most effective approach for you,
    you must consider
  • The skill levels and experience of the members of
    your team.
  • The work involved (routine or new and creative).
  • The organizational environment (stable or
    radically changing).
  • Your own preferred or natural style.
  • A good leader will find him or herself switching
    simply between styles according to the people and
    work they are dealing with. This is often
    referred to as situational leadership.

21
Factors of leadership
  • There are four major factors in leadership

1- Follower You must know your people! The
fundamental starting point is having a good
understanding of human nature, such as needs,
emotions, and motivation. You must come to know
your employees' be, know, and do attributes.
22
  • Leader
  • You must have an honest understanding of who you
    are, what you know, and what you can do.
  • To be successful you have to convince your
    followers, not yourself or your superiors, that
    you are worthy of being followed.

23
  • communication
  • You lead through two-way communication. Much of
    it is nonverbal.
  • What and how you communicate either builds or
    harms the relationship between you and your
    employees.

24
  • Situation
  • There is no best leadership style the situation
    is what should dictate the particular style used
    we should be able to apply the right style with
    the right situation
  • A good leader uses all the styles, depending on
    what forces are involved between the followers,
    the leader, and the situation.

25
  • HOW TO BE A GOOD LEADER
  • Remember leadership skills and techniques can be
    learned. You don't have to be a natural leader.
    Very few people are.
  • Know your team. At some point, every day, walk
    around the office and say "Hi" to everyone who
    works for you. If you're not in the office that
    day, call and see how people are.
  • Meet your team. Regularly - daily, weekly or
    monthly, depending on your place and type of work
    - have meetings of all the members of the team.
    Keep these meetings short, focused and
    action-orientated.
  • Train your team. Every team member should have at
    least two days training a year. Newer and more
    senior colleagues should have more. If they don't
    ask to go on training sessions, suggest some
    suitable courses.

26
Grow your team. Through varied experience and
regular training, you should be developing each
team member to be more and more confident and
more skilled. Set objectives for each team
member. As far as possible, these objective such
be SMART - Specific Measurable Achievable
Resourced Timed. Review the performance of each
team member. At least once a year - at least
quarterly for the first year of a new team member
- have a review session where you assess
performance, give feed-back and agree future
objectives and training. Inspire your team.
Consider making available a motivational quote or
story every week or month.
27
Thank constantly. The words "Thank you" take
seconds to say, but mean so much. Praise
constantly. The words "Well done" take seconds to
say, but will be long remembered and appreciated.
Communicate constantly. Don't assume that
people know what you're doing, still less what
you are planning or thinking. Tell them, using
all the communication tools to hand team
briefings, electronic newsletters, organizational
newspapers. Delegate. You don't have to do
everything. Develop your team members by training
them to do more and trusting them to take over
some of the things you've been doing.
