Autocratic:

High degree of dependency on the leader

valuable in some types of business where decisions need to
be made quickly
Democratic:

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:
Leader acts as a ‘father figure’
Paternalistic leader makes decision but may consult
Believes in the need to support staff

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.)

managers and leaders. He drew twelve distinctions between
