I tend to lead by example. I strongly believe that a team can only be as good as its leader. If I am failing at something, how can I demand the best from my team? Right? I also need to have excellent communication with my team. I treat them with respect, politely, fairly, but I am also demanding because I can't stand mediocrity.
I tend to lead by inspiration, influence, motivating, coaching and holding people accountable for results.
The leadership job in k-12 and higher education is challenging and requires a holistic understanding of the students needs to lead effectively.
It is refreshing to know the pros and cons of many other leadership styles.
A leader inspires, motivates, and guides people to take ownership of their responsibilities to get the job done.
I have learned that leadership is not just about holding a position of authority, but about inspiring and influencing others toward a shared goal.
I look forward to implementing alternative management styles based on my team and the task at hand.
Different leadership styles may be effective in different situations. Its important to be open to changing styles depending on the goal and the staff you are working with.
My leadership style is constantly evolving. At its base, my philosophy is a relentless and consistently productive pursuit of team goals.
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.
