3. As the exercise of influence;
4. As a form of persuasion;

influence and the most dramatic activity
in the field of school administration and

group that is engaged or involved in the
tasks.

10. 1. Trait or Great Man Theory
Leadership ability is innate. This
theory suggests that leadership is
determined by certain individual
personality traits, social traits and
significant physical characteristics.

11. 2. Environmental Theory
The environmental concept posits that
leadership skills are acquired. Whatever
leadership potential one is born with gets
only dissipated when it is not given the
chance to flourish and develop. The proper
environment is a strong force that spots,
identifies, supports and develops
leadership potential.

12. 3. Behavioral Theory
The behavioral approach
stipulates that leaders adopt a
particular leadership style
which exerts tremendous
impact over individual and
group behavior.

13. 1. Dictatorial leader—one with absolute authority and
utilizes threats and punishments to induce compliance.
2. Authoritarian leader—one who claims covenant
sourced from authority to exact obedience.
3. Laissez-fair or free rein leader—one who offers
information to the members but shows little involvement
and participation in group activities.
4. Democratic or participative leader—one who
involves subordinates in considering organizational
matters giving them guidance in their work problems and
goal achievement.

14. 1. It is a kind of leadership that is consistent with the
principles of democratic school administration and
supervision.
2. In democratic leadership, people are respected.
3. It ensures the making of cooperative or shared
decisions which are generally lasting and more likely to
right than the decisions of any one person.
4. There is a higher regard for people and for facts.
5. It draws efficiency from purposeful activity, wiser
planning, greater flexibility, and group discipline.

17. 1. Self-Awareness-you have an intimate knowledge of your inner
emotional state.
2. Self-Direction-you’re able to direct yourself effectively and
powerfully.
3. Vision-You’re working towards a goal that’s greater than yourself.
4. Ability to Motivate-leaders don’t lead by telling people what
they have to do, instead, leaders cause people to want to help
them.
5. Social-Awareness-understanding social networks and key
influencers in that social network is another key part of leadership.
6. Integrity-complete honesty in everything you do, both internally
and externally.
7. Humility-it means that you have the self-confidence and self-
awareness to recognize the value of others without feeling
threatened.

18. 8. Focus-leaders always focus on the needs of the organization
and the situation. They focus on strengths, in themselves and
others.
9. Openness-good leaders encourage a culture where every
member’s ideas are heard and valued.
10. Decisiveness-good leaders make important decisions based on
what’s best for the organization, and they make them confidently.
11. Conscientiousness-is a measure of how organized,
thoughtful and forward-thinking an individual is.
12. Excellent Communication Skills-able to communicate
effectively.
13. Resourceful-ability to use the resources they have to the
best of their ability.
14. Lead by Example-the best leaders make it a point to lead by
example, not simply by words.
