9. Types of Leadership
 Autocratic:
 Leader makes decisions without reference to anyone else
 High degree of dependency on the leader
 Can create de-motivation and alienation of staff
 valuable in some types of business where decisions need to
be made quickly
 Democratic:
 Encourages decision making
leadership may be emphasised throughout the organisation
Consultative: process of consultation before decisions are taken
 Persuasive: Leader takes decision and seeks to persuade others
that the decision is correct

10. Cont….
 Laissez-Faire:
‘Let it be’ – the leadership responsibilities are shared by all
Can be very useful in businesses where creative ideas are important
Can be highly motivational, as people have control over their working life
Can make coordination and decision making time-consuming and
lacking in overall direction
 Relies on good team work
 Relies on good interpersonal relations
 Paternalistic:

11. School Leadership
 School Leadership is also not much different from other
leadership.
 As John Dewy Says, “School is not a preparation for life, it is
life in itself”. School leadership is viewed in many different
ways:
Empowering Teachers
 Involve teachers and all staff in problem–solving activities.
 Ask them how they feel about things rather than telling them how
they will happen.
 Share as much management information as possible to help
foster their commitment.
 Ask staff what system/procedures are preventing them from
delivering quality to their costumers-students, parents, co-
workers.

12. Leadership vs Management
 However There is a Clear distinction b/w them.
 Management involves power by position.
 Leadership involves power by influence.
 Abraham Zaleznik (1977), for example, showed differences
between leadership and management. He saw leaders as inspiring
visionaries, concerned about substance; while managers he views
as planners who have concerns with process.
 Leader is someone who knows where to go. Management skills are
how they actually get there.
 “Management is a kind of leadership in which the achievement of
organizational goals is paramount.”
(Hersey, P. and Blanchard, K.)
