The leadership theory that I relate most closely to is transformational leadership. Transformational leaders are strategist, achievers, facilitators, and engagers. A good leader should be able to strategize and get the lesson across in a variety of methods. Their delivery must be structured and strategically planned for the most effective outcome. The methods must also include strategic and critical thinking. They must be able to promote achievement amongst those who are willing to learn. They must be able to engage their audience into understanding and promoting their vision. The promotion of the vision comes from the great delivery that transactional leaders possess.
Transformational leadership also includes a ton of facilitation and engagement. Being a collaborative builder, a behavioral role model, and so much more is definitely a part of this leadership theory. In order for this type of leadership to be effective, the leader has to keep the audience engaged by being a supporter, a coach, as well as a networker. This style of leadership could benefit my school in numerous ways. It models to students to be leaders by strategizing, striving to achieve success, learning to facilitate their own learning, and keep themselves as well as others engaged in the learning process. Transformational leadership is very powerful and a much needed leadership style in my school.
Maggie,
ReplyDeleteTransformational leadership was also style that I could relate to the most because I feel that they are motivators and achievers and can act as cheerleader for the people I lead. I also feel that this leadership could benefit my school because it can also motivate the students as well. I agree that it is a powerful tool and a very much needed addition in our school. Good LucK, Maggie!
