How Do You Lead?
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
Leaders need to be passionate and be an example to others. There are many different leadership styles, but the goal is the same.
I have a Master's degree in Leadership and have found that no matter how much I may think I know or how much leadership experience I have, there is always so much more to learn. I also learned that I have another leadership style (pacesetting/coaching).
Leaders need to be passionate about what they are doing, believe in their teachers and staff, and students. They surround themselves with competent staff and provide all the resources to support those who need support and encouragement. Give them time and space to learn from errors and make improvements. I like the three c's: competency, Candor, and Constancy, great values to carry with you as a leader.
I was amazed at all of the disparity shown. It's amazing that so many teachers are willing to step forward to make a difference.
As demands and circumstances change, it is important for leaders to adapt, too. This is critical to effectiveness!
I lead by letting others have input and hearing them out. Leading also requires compassion and empathy
I’ve learned about different leadership styles before, but seeing the benefits and risks of each style made me reflect on how I lead. I found that I use different styles depending on the situation, which showed me that leaders don’t have to stick to just one approach. Being flexible and adaptable can help leaders at any level and make an organization stronger and more dynamic.
Amazing insights on various leadership styles and helped to understand how to be situation adaptive to have the right style being used depending on the need of the hour.
Some leading is innate, but some requires being attuned to the needs of your constituents. I feel being empathetic, as well as, strategic is important to being a good leader.
I have learned more clearly about the different types of leadership styles and how important it is to adapt your leadership style to the situation you are in at that time. Understanding how and when to change the leadership style is significant. I think this will help me to identify which style to use and when based on the risks that happen with each style.
I learned that we can adapt to different group of people and lead them utilizing the right model for that specific grooup
My leadership approach is centered around fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment. I believe in leading by example, demonstrating integrity, and maintaining open lines of communication. By actively listening to team members and valuing their input, I ensure that everyone feels heard and respected. Additionally, I focus on setting clear goals and providing the necessary support and resources to achieve them. This approach not only drives team success but also encourages personal and professional growth among team members.
I am very happy to find out about all those management styles and found out the one that I always been!
By setting a clear vision, fostering open communication, empowering team members, and leading by example, a leader can inspire and motivate others to reach their full potential.
I learned that I'm predominantly 2 styles, democratic and affiliative, but also that I have elements of the other styles as well, though not coercive. I came away with the understanding that it is okay and perhaps important to integrate various styles, dependent on the situation. Applying the wrong style in the wrong situation can have disasterous results.
Leading by example - Pacesetting is my preferred style. I want my team to know that set goals are achievable, and let's get it done. I also want to allow my team members the chance to develop and realize their full potential.
There are so many leadership qualities that create amazing leaders. Being a great listener and an adaptable coach for all of your team members is so crucial so you can coach them at the level that they are at, and in a way that is receptive to their coaching.
Two things came out of my obervations - (1) the different leadership styles and how they are always evolving; (2) the thought of legacy and how this can inspire someone to what to lead.
I was particularly interested in the various leadership styles. I want to be a good leader and not one that my employees do not like or do not respect, from experience I am learning what works and does not work for others, but also understand that I cannot make EVERYONE happy. I have to stay balanced, consistent and fair. I look forward to learning more and always looking at how to improve.
