quality of teaching, learning and educational
outcomes and promoting the best thinking about
teaching and learning..

- 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.

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
11Charismatic 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.
12Democratic 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.

19- Which leadership style do you most identify with
? Why ?
20Using 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.
21Factors 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.
26Grow 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.
27Thank 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.
