I've realized that due to the enviroment of my previous institution, I have experienced a lot of coercive leadership that went extreme and lead to all the risks listed. However, I have more of an Authortative style which did help lead my team, but it also explains why I didn't feel as effective with working with other leaders.
Also, after watching The Principal Story, I really did not like the approach or attitude of the more seasoned principle, though I would love to emulate that of the newer principal. One would see a problem or misbehavior and simply approach it with "no, you can't do that, no matter what. Say sorry" and then be done with it and was also putting pressure on students to work on aspects like attendance which is not typically in the students control. However, the newer principal had a team to help walk through the "why" of the problem, other circumstances that could be leading to it and ways they or the principal could make the environment more effective.
