Chapter 2
Some Theories and Theorists on Leadership
Organizing the research on school leadership into a set of principles that current and future school leaders can
use to guide their behavior obviously requires that we stand on the shoulders of those who have made similar
efforts. In this chapter we briefly review some of the more prominent theories and theorists on leadership. In
subsequent chapters you will find that much of what we found in our metaanalysis strongly supports the major
elements of these theories and theorists.
Some Prominent Theories
Many theories of leadership have been influential in guiding school leaders. Here we examine a few of the
theories that were foundational to our analysis of the research.
Transformational and Transactional Leadership
Two terms that are bandied about in discussions of leadership in business and education are transformational
leadership and transactional leadership. Both terms have their roots in the work of James Burns, who is
generally considered the founder of modern leadership theory. Working primarily in the area of politics, Burns
(1978) first drafted a robust and compelling definition of leadership in general:
I define leadership as leaders inducing followers to act for certain goals that represent the values
and the motivation—the wants and the needs, the aspirations and expectations—of both leaders
and followers. And the genius of leadership lies in the manner in which leaders see and act on their
own and their followers' values and motivations. (p. 19)
Within his general definition, Burns made a fundamental distinction between two types of
leadership: transactional and transformational (which he referred to as “transforming”). In general terms,
transactional leadership is defined as trading one thing for another (quid pro quo), whereas transformational
leadership is more focused on change.
In more specific terms, Bass and Avolio (1994) describe three forms of transactional leadership: management
byexceptionpassive, managementbyexceptionactive, and constructive transactional. Sosik and Dionne
(1997) explain that managementbyexceptionpassive involves setting standards but waiting for major problems
to occur before exerting leadership behavior. Followers of this leadership style typically believe that their job is to
maintain the status quo. Leaders who demonstrate managementbyexceptionactive pay attention to issues that
arise, set standards, and carefully monitor behavior. In fact, they are so aggressive in their management behavior
that followers of this leadership style believe that they should not take risks or demonstrate initiative. Constructive
transactional leadership is the most effective and active of the transactional leadership styles. This type of
transactional leader sets goals.
Every organization strives for lasting success which is highly dependent on the quality
of its workforce. Workforce commitment is been considered as a major factor in
determining the organizational performance and effectiveness. Among various
determinants, leadership style of leader has been established as one of the most
determinant of employees’ organizational commitment. It is therefore concluded that
leadership styles (transformational and transactional) influence the development of
employees’ organizational commitment in the organizational settings. So,
organizations that are willing to have high employees’ organizational commitment
should provide training that encourage leaders to exhibit behaviors like building trust,
inspiring shared vision, encouraging creativity, emphasizing development and
recognizing accomplishments.
The document discusses the nature of management and leadership in organizations. It defines management as planning, directing resources, and accomplishing goals. Key management functions include identifying objectives, developing plans, organizing work, motivating employees, and controlling results. The document also examines different managerial roles including interpersonal roles of figurehead, leader, and liaison. Informational roles involve monitoring and communicating information. Decisional roles include making decisions as an entrepreneur, conflict handler, and resource allocator. Different leadership styles are also discussed, including transformational leadership focused on change and emotional leadership that engages employees' emotions.
Transformational leadership focuses on developing followers into leaders. It inspires followers to commit to a shared vision and goals through idealized influence, intellectual stimulation, inspirational motivation, and individualized consideration. James MacGregor Burns first introduced the concept in 1978 to describe political leaders, and it is now used in organizational psychology. Transformational leadership enhances employee attitudes, performance, satisfaction and commitment. It encourages creativity, problem solving, and challenges assumptions. Research shows transformational leadership positively impacts individual, group and organizational outcomes.
Transformational and transactional leadership are two major leadership theories. Transactional leadership focuses on supervision and exchange between leader and followers through rewards and punishments. Transformational leadership inspires followers through motivation and vision, raising followers' consciousness about important goals. While both styles can achieve goals, transformational leadership is generally seen as more effective in changing organizations and inspiring innovation.
A leadership critique :TRANSACTIONAL AND TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIPStanbic IBTC
This document provides an overview and critique of transactional and transformational leadership styles. It discusses how transactional leadership focuses on contingent reinforcement and management by exception, while transformational leadership inspires followers and elevates their interests. The document analyzes debates around whether these styles are alternatives or can be complementary. It also examines situational factors and how both styles may be effectively applied depending on the context and followers involved.

There have been many illuminating debates over the years concerning the differences or
similarities of leadership and management. Many people would argue that there are major
differences in the concepts and precepts of leadership and management because you lead and
love people from the emotional state of mind (heart) and manage processes, ideas, and things
through a logical state of mind (head). Having said this, one could postulate that leadership and
management debates will probably continue well into the future because the opposing
differences in philosophical viewpoints are based on unique organizational dynamics.
Sometimes you hear the expression “natural-born leader.” Leadership is a learned process, but
people must be born with the ability to absorb and apply the leadership concepts they have
learned. UNIT VII STUDY GUIDE Developing Leaders MHR 6551, Training and Development 2
UNIT x STUDY GUIDE Title Those who have served as leaders and managers for many years
are oftentimes inclined to believe that there are similarities as well as differences in leadership
and management. Equally important, experience has proven that in some cases leadership and
management overlap because organizations are composed of behavior (emotional) and task
(production) relationships. However, some do not believe that they are one and the same. Some
similarities of leadership and management are that they are both influential, work with others,
and work towards meeting the organizational goals (Northouse, 2010). Leadership and
management skills are required to be an effective leader. Moye (2004) echoed this point by
stating that not only are the best leaders good managers, but the strongest managers are also
great leaders. It is also important to note that managing is a subset of leading, meaning that
management is just one part of leadership. She went on to say that managers have authority
with employees or projects, whereas leaders motivate those people and projects (Moye, 2004).
Warren Bennis is famous for his one-liners about leadership and management. His one-liners
demonstrate that the differences between managers and leaders. While managers enforce the
expectations, leaders are inspiring and innovative. If you are interested in studying Bennis
further, consider reading his book listed in the Suggested Readings. Remember that
management is a subset of leading. It is the leaders who grow and develop as well as motivate
and connect with their employees. Management, on the other hand, enforces and maintains
guidelines and rules. However, it is important to note that Northouse (2004) stated that effective
organizations need to nourish competent management and leadership skills. Briner and

Transformational vs transactional leadership with examplesMoses Kabeyi
This document discusses and compares transformational and transactional leadership styles. Transactional leadership focuses on supervision and using rewards/punishments to motivate followers to achieve goals. Transformational leadership inspires followers to achieve higher standards through vision and motivation. Examples given are Jack Ma as transactional for focusing on existing Alibaba business model, while Bill Gates is transformational for sustaining Microsoft innovation. The conclusion is that both styles have strengths, and organizations may benefit most from mixing the approaches.

My Experiences After Attending The Practice Of Public...Julie Brown
The document discusses the author's experiences after taking a public health leadership course in 2015. The author learned that effective leadership depends on teamwork, recognizing strengths and weaknesses, and incorporating diversity. Personal reflection and knowing oneself are also important lessons. The course challenged, developed, and inspired the author as a leader.
1) The document discusses transformational leadership behaviors that are important for school principals to possess, including idealized influence, inspirational motivation, individualized consideration, and intellectual stimulation.
2) It reviews literature showing that transformational leadership is positively associated with schools' innovative climate, teacher commitment, and overall school performance.
3) The study aims to discover the level of transformational leadership behaviors demonstrated by school principals in their daily administrative practices, with results indicating principals demonstrate high levels of these behaviors.
The document discusses situational leadership theory and situational approaches to leadership. Situational leadership theory was developed by Hersey and Blanchard based on Reddin's 3-D management style theory. The main premise is that there is no single best leadership style and that the style should depend on the situation. Leaders must be flexible and adapt their style to different situations and employees with varying skill levels and commitment. Periodic evaluation of employees is needed to determine if the leadership style needs to be adjusted.
Visionary leadership is needed to address changes in education and produce educational productivity. A visionary leader creates a vision for the future by considering experiences and input from others. They communicate the vision, act as an agent of change, and guide others toward goals. For education to be productive, a visionary leader must effectively and efficiently use resources like teachers, funds, facilities to generate high-quality, relevant graduates who can compete in the job market. A visionary educational leader anticipates future labor needs and prepares students with skills beyond knowledge like attitudes, communication, and problem-solving. Their vision, continuous learning, service orientation, and trust in others allows them to lead educational institutions productively.
Education at a Glance OECD 20113 s2.0-b9780080448947004310-mainJohn Taylor
This document summarizes research on transformational school leadership. It begins by discussing the roots of transformational leadership theory in the work of James McGregor Burns and Bernard Bass. It then reviews evidence that transformational leadership has positive effects on teachers and school organizations, including teacher commitment, satisfaction, classroom practices, and school culture. The document outlines a school-specific model of transformational leadership with four dimensions: setting directions, developing people, redesigning the organization, and managing instruction. It provides details on the leadership practices within each dimension, such as building a shared vision, fostering group goals, and developing capacity in teachers.
1. There are fundamental differences between leadership and management. Leadership involves leading and inspiring people, while management focuses on controlling processes and resources.
2. Different leadership styles can impact performance. A human-relations style that is supportive and participative can foster cooperation, while an autocratic or charismatic style concentrates power and decision-making with the leader.
3. Effective management and leadership require both control of processes and inspiration of people. Historically, companies that adopted principles balancing these needs, like Michelin, saw improved performance and worker satisfaction.
This assignment analyzes leadership philosophy in regards to the literary leadership materials, also based on my personal reflection of leadership. From the adage leaders are born and not structured, Leadership to me is the realization of having the ability which can influence thoughts, ideas and actions of others so that they can achieve sets of preset goals, tasks, duties and responsibilities. This I believe can be injected in any organizational setup, thus I agree that leadership is a very essential facet in contributing achievements of success to individuals (Ambler, 2005). While the adage maybe accurate for charismatic leaders, I also agree with scholars in this field articulate that positive gens combined with building skills will persuade people to become leaders that are effective.
This document discusses the differences between leadership and management. It states that leadership involves influencing and guiding others towards a direction or goal, while management focuses on accomplishing tasks, having responsibility for people and resources, and ensuring organizational efficiency. However, the document notes it can be difficult to clearly distinguish leadership from management, as they often overlap within organizations. Effective organizations need both outstanding leadership and management. The essay will further examine definitions of leadership and management from scholars and compare their processes.
Power Base and LeadershipBritish historian of late 19th century,.docxChantellPantoja184
Power Base and Leadership
British historian of late 19th century, (Acton, 1887) said that "power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely," suggesting that a person's sense of morality lessens as his or her power increases. Do you agree? Considering this idea, is it ethical for leaders to try to increase their power? Is all power the same or are there different power bases and different corresponding influence techniques? How does the use of power impact the leader-follower relationship?
Choose any organization and describe the power base(s) in that organization. What types of techniques do leaders in use to influence team behavior in that organization? How does the leaders' approach affect team relationships? As a leader, how would you use power in your relationships with team members and why?

Leadership Styles and The Tribe
Modular Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to satisfy the following outcomes:
•Case ◦Compare transformational leadership to non-leadership (laissez-faire).
•SLP ◦Explore and discuss the impact of a transactional leadership environment on the tribal stage of an organization.
•Discussion ◦Apply the situational leadership style to tribal leadership.
◦Discuss the benefits and/or drawbacks of using situational leadership to increase an organization’s tribal stage to the next level.
◦Apply the non-leadership factor (laissez-faire) to tribal leadership.
◦Determine whether a non-leadership style (laissez-faire) impacts an organization’s tribal leadership stage negatively or positively.
Module Overview
We are at the half-way point in the course, and it is time to change gears from traits and skills; but we will continue to apply all the concepts we are studying to tribal leadership.
For Module 3, we will focus on leadership styles, including situational leadership, transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and even non-leadership (laissez-faire).
By now, the different parts of leadership theory we have studied will start to form the basis for strategic leadership decisions, especially as they apply to tribal leadership. With a large chunk of key leadership theories under our belt, we should have no trouble beginning to discern which approaches are best in certain situations and scenarios.
Module 3 - Background
Leadership Styles and The Tribe
Style Approach
Around the same time that Katz (1955) was questioning the trait theory of leadership in favor of a more skills-based approach, Stogdill (1948) was also looking for a better model to define what makes a leader. We discussed Stogdill’s work in Module 1 (his discovery that “…the traits of leaders around the world were not distinct from the traits of non-leaders”). As we discussed, this led him to explore characteristics beyond innate traits.
As the style approach was coming into focus, several important studies were conducted to learn more about “what leaders do and how they act” (Northouse, 2018, p. 69). What leaders do is classified as task behaviors, while how leaders act is classified as relationship behaviors. Among those important studies were the Ohio State Studies, which focused on the way leaders acted when they were leading, and the University of Michigan Studies, which focused on “the impact of leaders’ behaviors on the performance of small groups” (Northouse, 2018, p. 71). While both of these studies are critical parts of understanding leadership, they are covered heavily in elementary leadership studies, and will not be further explored in the context of strategic leadership. Instead, we will move on to the prevalent style-based theories that took hold as a result of these studies and the work of Stogdill and Katz (1948; 1955).

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT:
A REVIEW IN CONTEXT
David V. Day*
The Pennsylvania State University
Interest in leadership development is strong, especially among practitioners. Nonetheless, there
is conceptual confusion regarding distinctions between leader and leadership development, as
well as disconnection between the practice of leadership development and its scientific foundation.
The present review examines the field of leadership development through three contextual
lenses: (1) understanding the difference between leader development and leadership development
(conceptual context); (2) reviewing how state-of-the-art development is being conducted in the
context of ongoing organizational work (practice context); and (3) summarizing previous research
that has implications for leadership development (research context). The overall purpose is to
bridge the practice and science of leadership development by showing the importance of building
both human and social capital in organizations. Specific practices that are reviewed include 360-
degree feedback and executive coaching, mentoring and networking, and job assignments and
action learning. Practices and research are framed in terms of a general need to link leader
development, which is primarily based on enhancing human capital, with leadership development
that emphasizes the creation of social capital in organizations.
In the traditional organization—the organization of the last one hundred
years—the skeleton or internal structure, was a combination of rank and
power. In the emerging organization, it has to be mutual understanding and
responsibility.
—Peter F. Drucker, Managing in Times of Great Change
Interest in leadership development appears to be at its zenith. One indicator of
this interest is seen in survey results highlighting the increased attention and re-
sources given to leadership development (The Conference Board, 1999). Many
organizations are viewing leadership as a source of competitive advantage and are
investing in its development accordingly (McCall, 1998; Vicere & Fulmer, 1998).

Zoe is a second grader with autism spectrum disorders. Zoe’s father .docxransayo
Zoe is a second grader with autism spectrum disorders. Zoe’s father recently passed away in a tragic car accident. Zoe, her mom, and two older brothers have temporarily relocated from out-of-state and are now living in her grandparents’ house in a small, rural community.
Because the family had been living out-of state, Zoe has never interacted with her grandparents. She has challenges responding to social cues, including her name and in understanding gestures. She also engages in repetitive body movements. She is fond of her set of dolls and likes lining them up. When Zoe is agitated, her mother plays Mozart, which seems to have a calming effect. Zoe also enjoys macaroni and cheese.
Her grandparents do not understand Zoe’s attempts at communicating. Zoe does not respond well to crowded and noisy environments. Zoe’s mom is working outside the home for the first time.
Because of the move, Zoe has transferred to a new school, which does not currently have any students with ASD. Although her mom is generally very involved with Zoe’s education, she is away from the home much of the time due to a long commute for her new job is a neighboring city.
Zoe’s grandparents are eager and willing to help in any way they can.
Imagine you are serving as an ASD consultant at Zoe’s new school. Using the COMPASS model, create a COMPASS Action Plan for Zoe by complete the following tasks:
Identify the personal challenges for Zoe;
Identify the environmental challenges for Zoe;
Identify potential supports; and
Identify and prioritize teaching goals.
In addition, include a 250-500-word rationale that explains how your action plan for Zoe demonstrates collaboration in a respectful, culturally responsive way while promoting understanding, resolving conflicts, and building consensus around her interventions.

This is usually caused by the performer becoming anxious and sometimes making wrong decisions. Catastrophes is caused by a combination of cognitive and somatic anxieties. Cognitive is the internal worries of not performing well while somatic is the physical effects of muscle tension/butterflies and fatigue through playing.

HIGH TRAIT ANXIETY ATHLETES… HOW DO THEY PERCEIVE COMPETITION?
· Anxiety: is a negative emotional state in which feelings of nervousness, worry and apprehension are associated with activation or arousal of the body
· Trait Anxiety: is a behavioral disposition to perceive as threatening circumstances that objectively may not be dangerous and to then respond with disproportionate state anxiety.
· Somatic Trait Anxiety: the degree to which one typically perceived heightened physical symptoms (muscle tension)
· Cognitive Trait Anxiety: the degree to which one typically worries or has self doubt
· Concentration Disruption: the degree to which one typically has concentration disruption during competition
People usually with high trait anxiety usually have more state anxiety in highly competitive evaluative situations than do people with lower trait anxiety. Example two athletes are playing basketball and both are physically and statistically the same both have to shoot a final free throw to win the game. Athlete A is more laid back which means his trait anxiety is lower and he doesn't view the final shot as a overly threatening. Athlete B has a high trait anxiety and because of that he perceives the final shot as very threatening. This has an effect on his state anxiety much more than.

Transformational vs transactional leadership with examplesMoses Kabeyi
This document discusses and compares transformational and transactional leadership styles. Transactional leadership focuses on supervision and using rewards/punishments to motivate followers to achieve goals. Transformational leadership inspires followers to achieve higher standards through vision and motivation. Examples given are Jack Ma as transactional for focusing on existing Alibaba business model, while Bill Gates is transformational for sustaining Microsoft innovation. The conclusion is that both styles have strengths, and organizations may benefit most from mixing the approaches.

My Experiences After Attending The Practice Of Public...Julie Brown
The document discusses the author's experiences after taking a public health leadership course in 2015. The author learned that effective leadership depends on teamwork, recognizing strengths and weaknesses, and incorporating diversity. Personal reflection and knowing oneself are also important lessons. The course challenged, developed, and inspired the author as a leader.
1) The document discusses transformational leadership behaviors that are important for school principals to possess, including idealized influence, inspirational motivation, individualized consideration, and intellectual stimulation.
2) It reviews literature showing that transformational leadership is positively associated with schools' innovative climate, teacher commitment, and overall school performance.
3) The study aims to discover the level of transformational leadership behaviors demonstrated by school principals in their daily administrative practices, with results indicating principals demonstrate high levels of these behaviors.
The document discusses situational leadership theory and situational approaches to leadership. Situational leadership theory was developed by Hersey and Blanchard based on Reddin's 3-D management style theory. The main premise is that there is no single best leadership style and that the style should depend on the situation. Leaders must be flexible and adapt their style to different situations and employees with varying skill levels and commitment. Periodic evaluation of employees is needed to determine if the leadership style needs to be adjusted.
Visionary leadership is needed to address changes in education and produce educational productivity. A visionary leader creates a vision for the future by considering experiences and input from others. They communicate the vision, act as an agent of change, and guide others toward goals. For education to be productive, a visionary leader must effectively and efficiently use resources like teachers, funds, facilities to generate high-quality, relevant graduates who can compete in the job market. A visionary educational leader anticipates future labor needs and prepares students with skills beyond knowledge like attitudes, communication, and problem-solving. Their vision, continuous learning, service orientation, and trust in others allows them to lead educational institutions productively.

This document summarizes research on transformational school leadership. It begins by discussing the roots of transformational leadership theory in the work of James McGregor Burns and Bernard Bass. It then reviews evidence that transformational leadership has positive effects on teachers and school organizations, including teacher commitment, satisfaction, classroom practices, and school culture. The document outlines a school-specific model of transformational leadership with four dimensions: setting directions, developing people, redesigning the organization, and managing instruction. It provides details on the leadership practices within each dimension, such as building a shared vision, fostering group goals, and developing capacity in teachers.
1. There are fundamental differences between leadership and management. Leadership involves leading and inspiring people, while management focuses on controlling processes and resources.
2. Different leadership styles can impact performance. A human-relations style that is supportive and participative can foster cooperation, while an autocratic or charismatic style concentrates power and decision-making with the leader.
3. Effective management and leadership require both control of processes and inspiration of people. Historically, companies that adopted principles balancing these needs, like Michelin, saw improved performance and worker satisfaction.
This assignment analyzes leadership philosophy in regards to the literary leadership materials, also based on my personal reflection of leadership. From the adage leaders are born and not structured, Leadership to me is the realization of having the ability which can influence thoughts, ideas and actions of others so that they can achieve sets of preset goals, tasks, duties and responsibilities. This I believe can be injected in any organizational setup, thus I agree that leadership is a very essential facet in contributing achievements of success to individuals (Ambler, 2005). While the adage maybe accurate for charismatic leaders, I also agree with scholars in this field articulate that positive gens combined with building skills will persuade people to become leaders that are effective.
This document discusses the differences between leadership and management. It states that leadership involves influencing and guiding others towards a direction or goal, while management focuses on accomplishing tasks, having responsibility for people and resources, and ensuring organizational efficiency. However, the document notes it can be difficult to clearly distinguish leadership from management, as they often overlap within organizations. Effective organizations need both outstanding leadership and management. The essay will further examine definitions of leadership and management from scholars and compare their processes.
Power Base and LeadershipBritish historian of late 19th century,.docxChantellPantoja184
Power Base and Leadership
British historian of late 19th century, (Acton, 1887) said that "power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely," suggesting that a person's sense of morality lessens as his or her power increases. Do you agree? Considering this idea, is it ethical for leaders to try to increase their power? Is all power the same or are there different power bases and different corresponding influence techniques? How does the use of power impact the leader-follower relationship?
Choose any organization and describe the power base(s) in that organization. What types of techniques do leaders in use to influence team behavior in that organization? How does the leaders' approach affect team relationships? As a leader, how would you use power in your relationships with team members and why?

Modular Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to satisfy the following outcomes:
•Case ◦Compare transformational leadership to non-leadership (laissez-faire).
•SLP ◦Explore and discuss the impact of a transactional leadership environment on the tribal stage of an organization.
•Discussion ◦Apply the situational leadership style to tribal leadership.
◦Discuss the benefits and/or drawbacks of using situational leadership to increase an organization’s tribal stage to the next level.
◦Apply the non-leadership factor (laissez-faire) to tribal leadership.
◦Determine whether a non-leadership style (laissez-faire) impacts an organization’s tribal leadership stage negatively or positively.
Module Overview
We are at the half-way point in the course, and it is time to change gears from traits and skills; but we will continue to apply all the concepts we are studying to tribal leadership.
For Module 3, we will focus on leadership styles, including situational leadership, transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and even non-leadership (laissez-faire).
By now, the different parts of leadership theory we have studied will start to form the basis for strategic leadership decisions, especially as they apply to tribal leadership. With a large chunk of key leadership theories under our belt, we should have no trouble beginning to discern which approaches are best in certain situations and scenarios.
Module 3 - Background
Leadership Styles and The Tribe
Style Approach
Around the same time that Katz (1955) was questioning the trait theory of leadership in favor of a more skills-based approach, Stogdill (1948) was also looking for a better model to define what makes a leader. We discussed Stogdill’s work in Module 1 (his discovery that “…the traits of leaders around the world were not distinct from the traits of non-leaders”). As we discussed, this led him to explore characteristics beyond innate traits.
As the style approach was coming into focus, several important studies were conducted to learn more about “what leaders do and how they act” (Northouse, 2018, p. 69). What leaders do is classified as task behaviors, while how leaders act is classified as relationship behaviors. Among those important studies were the Ohio State Studies, which focused on the way leaders acted when they were leading, and the University of Michigan Studies, which focused on “the impact of leaders’ behaviors on the performance of small groups” (Northouse, 2018, p. 71). While both of these studies are critical parts of understanding leadership, they are covered heavily in elementary leadership studies, and will not be further explored in the context of strategic leadership. Instead, we will move on to the prevalent style-based theories that took hold as a result of these studies and the work of Stogdill and Katz (1948; 1955).

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT:
A REVIEW IN CONTEXT
David V. Day*
The Pennsylvania State University
Interest in leadership development is strong, especially among practitioners. Nonetheless, there
is conceptual confusion regarding distinctions between leader and leadership development, as
well as disconnection between the practice of leadership development and its scientific foundation.
The present review examines the field of leadership development through three contextual
lenses: (1) understanding the difference between leader development and leadership development
(conceptual context); (2) reviewing how state-of-the-art development is being conducted in the
context of ongoing organizational work (practice context); and (3) summarizing previous research
that has implications for leadership development (research context). The overall purpose is to
bridge the practice and science of leadership development by showing the importance of building
both human and social capital in organizations. Specific practices that are reviewed include 360-
degree feedback and executive coaching, mentoring and networking, and job assignments and
action learning. Practices and research are framed in terms of a general need to link leader
development, which is primarily based on enhancing human capital, with leadership development
that emphasizes the creation of social capital in organizations.
In the traditional organization—the organization of the last one hundred
years—the skeleton or internal structure, was a combination of rank and
power. In the emerging organization, it has to be mutual understanding and
responsibility.
—Peter F. Drucker, Managing in Times of Great Change
Interest in leadership development appears to be at its zenith. One indicator of
this interest is seen in survey results highlighting the increased attention and re-
sources given to leadership development (The Conference Board, 1999). Many
organizations are viewing leadership as a source of competitive advantage and are
investing in its development accordingly (McCall, 1998; Vicere & Fulmer, 1998).

Zoe is a second grader with autism spectrum disorders. Zoe’s father .docxransayo
Zoe is a second grader with autism spectrum disorders. Zoe’s father recently passed away in a tragic car accident. Zoe, her mom, and two older brothers have temporarily relocated from out-of-state and are now living in her grandparents’ house in a small, rural community.
Because the family had been living out-of state, Zoe has never interacted with her grandparents. She has challenges responding to social cues, including her name and in understanding gestures. She also engages in repetitive body movements. She is fond of her set of dolls and likes lining them up. When Zoe is agitated, her mother plays Mozart, which seems to have a calming effect. Zoe also enjoys macaroni and cheese.
Her grandparents do not understand Zoe’s attempts at communicating. Zoe does not respond well to crowded and noisy environments. Zoe’s mom is working outside the home for the first time.
Because of the move, Zoe has transferred to a new school, which does not currently have any students with ASD. Although her mom is generally very involved with Zoe’s education, she is away from the home much of the time due to a long commute for her new job is a neighboring city.
Zoe’s grandparents are eager and willing to help in any way they can.
Imagine you are serving as an ASD consultant at Zoe’s new school. Using the COMPASS model, create a COMPASS Action Plan for Zoe by complete the following tasks:
Identify the personal challenges for Zoe;
Identify the environmental challenges for Zoe;
Identify potential supports; and
Identify and prioritize teaching goals.
In addition, include a 250-500-word rationale that explains how your action plan for Zoe demonstrates collaboration in a respectful, culturally responsive way while promoting understanding, resolving conflicts, and building consensus around her interventions.

Do You Choose to Accept?
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go out and see Mission: Impossible-Fallout. As I sat back in my red-cushioned seat, accompanied by my brothers, I knew I was in for something special. The film takes place two years after two-thousand fifteens hit movie, Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation. While I had no clue what to expect, I knew I was going to be in for an incredible ride as soon as the movie began with the intense dialogue between Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and Solomon Lane (Sean Harris). From beginning to end, Mission: Impossible- Fallout delivers crazy action-thriller scenes, inventive special effects, and creative cinematography.
Mission: Impossible-Fallout is based on a story of an American agent who must retrieve nuclear weapons from an enemy terrorist organization with help of his specialized IMF team. The film was consistent the first hour with it involving the audience in the mission of the secret organization and trying to figure out the next move of the evil organization known as the Apostles. However, towards the middle of the movie it was revealed that one of the CIA agents was playing the role of a double spy and was on the side of the Apostles. The plot delivered intense action-packed scenes between the opposing groups that personally had me at the edge of my seat. Whether it was a chase on motorcycles, cars, speedboats, or helicopters, each scene had Ethan Hunt running for his life to save the world. Even though I was only viewing the movie from a comfortable movie theater, Hunt zigzagging through the traffic of France on a motorcycle had my fists clenched and adrenaline pumping. However, that was not even the best thriller of the movie. Ethan Hunt trailing Agent Walker in a helicopter with heavy rounds of artillery being fired at each other through the snowcapped mountains of Kashmir may very well be one of the best action scenes in cinematic history. Mission: Impossible-Fallout can be appreciated and enjoyed by all audiences because of its action-packed scenes that keep everyone extremely engaged in the plot.
Mission: Impossible-Fallout brilliantly illustrates the amazing special effects that serve to create the theme and style of the film. From creating bloody wounds to spectacular backgrounds, special effects are abundant throughout the movie. For instance, as Hunt is jumping off an airplane, the special effects of this scene include wind, rain, thunder, and clouds that make the film visually appealing and almost realistic. The thunder striking him as he is skydiving had my jaw wide open simply because of how incredible the illusion was displayed. In almost every fight between Hunt’s team and the Apostles, multiple types of special effects were utilized. Fighting sequences with Hunt angrily running towards Lane and delivering devastating punches accompanied by “POWs” and “AAAHs” seemed so realistic that it had me feeling queasy in my stomach. The gunfire during these fight.

Working Title:
The Education Gap
Research Question:
How did the youth of Iran make up the education gap resulted from the Cultural Revolution from 1980 to 1982?
This is a critical question because it involves both education and the youth of Iran. Education and the youth are both very fundamental perspectives for a society to thrive. During the cultural revolution, the education system was shut down, which would undermine the overall quality of a generation. Research of this issue will lead us to the methods used to make up the education gap. It is possible to help other countries suffering similar issues.
Thesis Statement:
After the Iran’s cultural revolution during 1980 to 1982, the youth of Iran made up the education gap caused during the revolution by promoting student movements.
Outline:
· Introduction:
· Cultural Revolution happened in Iran during 1980 to 1982. The education institutions like universities were shut down for the 3-year period. And this gap in education brought significant influence on the youth of Iran at that time. However, the education gap was made up successfully after the revolution.
· State the thesis statement:
· The education gap is made up by the youth in Iran. They promoted the student movement to help the society recover from the revolution.
· The scars left from the revolution
· The revolution lasted 3 years, young people who were supposed to be students had to quit school. The government forced schools to close. The chain of delivering knowledge was broken. And young people cannot find proper things to do when quitting school.
· Student movements
· After the cultural revolution, people in Iran realized they need to correct the current education situation recover the damages resulted from the revolution. Since Iran’s youth has a great number in the society, their power was not to be ignored. They started to fight for their own rights and profits. They were looking for ways to make up the damage has been down. Then the student movement eventually worked for recovering Iran’s education level.
· Conclusion
· The cultural revolution in Iran hurt its education continuity. However, the youth of Iran managed to make up for the damage caused by the cultural revolution. Student movements played the dominant role in this recovering process.

Violation of Civil Rights Act in Elections
Introduction
Despite the assurance of minority voter’s rights by the constitution and the fourteenth amendment, cases of rights violation with regards to the voting process are still on the rise in the US. Minority groups are often discriminated or blocked from participating in the voting process both in ways that they can discern and through cunning plans that can involve the voting process. Some of the main reasons why minorities’ constitutional rights are violated include racial discrimination by majority races, and to manipulate the outcome of the elections so as to keep minority groups out of the political leadership structure. The fourteenth amendment and the constitution do not sufficiently safeguard the rights of minority groups during elections beca.

Days in Inventory 14.53 14.39 365/Inventory Turnover
Debts to Asset Ratio 0.86 0.86 Total Debts/Total Assets
IBM's days in inventory is around two weeks and this means that goods in the inventory
as efficnetly distributed and that there is a consitantly good inventory control for the
company.
The company's debts to assets ratio is the same for two years and this means that the
company has less debt than asset. However, it is still a relatively poor ratio because this
might show that there are potential problems for the company to generate sufficient
revenue.
The current ratio of the company has decreased over the year, and this means that the
company has less liquid assets to cover its short term liabilities. Since the ratio is
currently approaching 1, the company might be having liquidation problem.
The profit margin for IBM is very stable and it has been about 12% for two years. The
company is performing the profit-generating ability at an average level and it is having
an average profit margin in the industry.
The receiveables turnover is good for the company while between these two years, there
is a decline. As the company is collecting its accounts receiveables around 10 times per
year, the collection is frequent.
The company has been collecting money from customers on credit sales approximately
once every month, and the company usually has fast credit collection, which means that
the risk for credit sales is relatively low.
Inventory turnover measures how many times a company sells and replaces inventory
during a year and for IBM, the number of times is stable and it is constantly around 25.
This means that the company has an efficient control of its goods in the inventory.

Zheng He's Inscription
This inscription was carved on a stele erected at a temple to the goddess the Celestial Spouse at Changle in Fujian province in 1431. Message written before his last voyage.
The Imperial Ming Dynasty unifying seas and continents, surpassing the three dynasties even goes beyond the Han and Tang dynasties. The countries beyond the horizon and from the ends of the earth have all become subjects and to the most western of the western or the most northern of the northern countries, however far they may be, the distance and the routes may be calculated. Thus the barbarians from beyond the seas, though their countries are truly distant, "have come to audience bearing precious objects and presents.
The Emperor, approving of their loyalty and sincerity, has ordered us (Zheng) He and others at the head of several tens of thousands of officers and flag-troops to ascend (use) more than one hundred large ships to go and confer presents on them in order to make manifest (make it happen) the transforming power of the (imperial) virtue and to treat distant people with kindness. From the third year of Yongle (1405) till now we have seven times received the commission (official permission) of ambassadors to countries of the western ocean. The barbarian countries which we have visited are: by way of Zhancheng (Champa Cambodia), Zhaowa (Java), Sanfoqi (Palembang- Indonesia) and Xianlo (Siam/Thailand) crossing straight over to Xilanshan (Ceylon- Sri Lanka) in South India, Guli (Calicut) [India], and Kezhi (Cochin India), we have gone to the western regions Hulumosi (Hormuz Between Oman and Iran), Adan (Aden), Mugudushu (Mogadishu- Somalia), altogether more than thirty countries large and small. We have traversed more than one hundred thousand li (distance of 500 meters) of immense water spaces and have beheld in the ocean huge waves like mountains rising sky-high, and we have set eyes on barbarian regions far away hidden in a blue transparency of light vapours, while our sails loftily unfurled like clouds day and night continued their course (rapid like that) of a star, traversing those savage waves as if we were treading a public thoroughfare. Truly this was due to the majesty and the good fortune of the Court and moreover we owe it to the protecting virtue of the divine Celestial Spouse.
The power of the goddess having indeed been manifested in previous times has been abundantly revealed in the present generation. When we arrived in the distant countries we captured alive those of the native kings who were not respectful and exterminated those barbarian robbers who were engaged in piracy, so that consequently the sea route was cleansed and pacified (to make someone or something peaceful) and the natives put their trust in it. All this is due to the favours of the goddess.
We have respectfully received an Imperial commemorative composition (essay/piece of writing) exalting the miraculous favours, which is the highest recompense and.

Time and Memory in Two Portal Fantasies: An Analysis of Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland and "Windeye"
Life is a collection of moments, and some memories last forever. Brian Evenson
demonstrated this in “Windeye,”a story of a man who faces mental challenges because of the
life-long memory of his sister. In spite of the fact that his mother insists that the sister did not
exist, the protagonist stuck to this belief until his old age. The basis of the protagonist’s
problems is the intense love and unforgettable memories he shared with his imagined sister.
A great portion of his childhood memories is centered around his sister and their exploration
of the windeye. Windeye, the corruption of the word window, is a portal that causes the
disappearance of the protagonist’s sister. The popular portal fantasy, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland, illustrates a similar story in the same sub-genre where a girl travels through a
rabbit hole and experiences a fantasy world which chronicles her changes from naive child-
like responses to more adult-like problem solving reactions. In “Windeye,” Brian Evenson
utilizes the portal trope to develop conflict and outcomes while exploring the themes of time
and memory. In both stories, the use of the portal trope creates a distinct world that is
separate from reality; however, the outcomes are different, and ultimately, Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland presents the theme of growth while “Windeye” explores time and memories.
The use of time factors allows the reader to travel back to the origin of the story in “Windeye” and experience the beginning of the central conflict. It is in his past that the
protagonist develops strong childhood memories of a sister, which is the cause of his future
mental challenges. In the present, the narrator is old and rickety as he uses a cane to walk but
is still reminiscent of the past (Evenson). He holds firm to the belief that he might have a
chance of meeting his sister again and thus contemplates the future and the sister’s
appearance. The plot of “Windeye” is composed of distinctive life moments: the past, the
present, and the future, which offer a clear and complete description of the events. The theme
Zhou 2
of time allows the reader to understand why the protagonist profoundly feels that his sister exists. In essence, it is time travel that gives the story a picture of the events that lead to the current situation.
The portal fantasy is a fictional literary device where a character enters into a
fantastical world through a portal or a hole. In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Carroll
uses a rabbit hole as a physical portal to move through time. Comparably, Evenson utilizes
the windeye, a window that can only be seen from one side, as a physical portal. When the
sister touches the windeye, her brother believes that she enters into another reality through
the portal as Alice does. In contrast, the protagonist also experiences a new reality as he is.

Comparing Gas-Powered Cars and Electric Cars
Electric cars have become increasingly popular in the past century. These cars use
electric motors instead of conventional gasoline engines. Electric cars pollute less and utilize
energy more efficiently than gas-powered vehicles; therefore, modern research is focusing on
improving electric vehicles, such as increasing the storage capacity of the batteries. This essay
seeks to identify the differences and similarities between the two types of cars focusing on their
performance, price, and convenience.
An electric car is a car that is primarily powered by electricity. The conventional gas-
powered cars require diesel or gasoline to power the engines. These cars have gas tanks that store
fuel and the engine converts the gas to the energy that powers the motor. Similarly, electric cars
have batteries, or fuel cells that store and convert electricity to energy used to propel electric
motors (What Are Electric Cars?). Four components present in electric cars distinguish it from
the gas-powered cars (Alternative Fuels Data Center: How Do All-Electric Cars Work?). The
first is the charge port. Since electricity powers an electric car, there has to be a port to connect
to an external power source when charging the battery. The second is an electric traction motor
that propels the vehicle. The third is a traction battery pack. This battery serves the same purpose
as the gas tank; thus, it stocks electric power to propel the motor. The forth is a direct current
converter. This component converts the current to low voltage power that is needed to power the
electric engine.

You need to watch the panapto session for this paper assignment and FOLLOW the instructions I give there. Your topic sentence must follow the patterns set forth by your thesis. So, this first paragraph must have a topic sentence about GAS POWERED cars and PRICE. That is what you have set forth in your thesis. Watch the panapto session. And ask me questions if you do not understand what I mean.

No, you cannot 'announce' what your essay will do. And this is NOT the thesis I approved. What I approved:"Both gas-powered cars and electric cars are now in use, but their price, performance and convenience may vary, which may influence people's decisions about which type to use."
Zhang 2
Differences between gas-powered cars and electric cars
The initial purchase price of an electric car is much higher than that of a gas-powered car.
Consumers intending to own a vehicle have the option of buying or leasing. The initial cost of a
car depends on an individual's disposable income and savings. Knez et al. noted that "When it
comes to financial features, the most important thing seems to be the total price of the vehicle"
(55). The difference in price between electr.

Reputation by Taylor Swift
After Taylor Swift fell into disrepute, she was truly reborn. As a creative singer
who reveals a lot of real life emotions and details in her works, she constantly refines
and shares her emotional connection with her audience. In her new album, people find
resonance in her work, connect it with their own lives. "Reputation" is not only the
original efforts of Taylor Swift, but also means that she turned gorgeously and
dominated. This album is like a swearing word from her to the world. Revenge fantasy,
sweet love, painful growth... all the good and bad things that happened in these stages
of life, her music seems to have gone through with us all over again.
But last August, the now 28-year-old singer declared that "the old Taylor is
dead" in her eerie single "Look What You Made Me Do," the beginning of a new era for
Swift (Weatherby). The disclosure of the society, the accusations of rumor makers,
these straight-forward lyrics shred the ugly face of those unscrupulous people. Taylor
Swift did not endure the rumors in the society, but created this rock album after the
silence. If 1989 is still what Taylor hopes to gain the understanding of the public, this
album is really a matter of opening up the past concerns, saying goodbye to the past
as well as being a true Taylor Swift. No longer caring about the so-called "reputation ",
preferring to be burned to death by those ridiculous "images." This air of newfound
jadedness is one of the many ways in which Swift broadcasts her long-overdue loss of
Zhang �2
innocence on “Reputation,” an album that captures the singer during the most
turbulent but commercially successful period of her career. (Primeau)
The cover is black and white, the picture is Taylor's head, and the side is the
newspaper's article and title words. The cover of the album may be a metaphor, it
reveals that Taylor can no longer stand the report of the gossip media, and the chain on
the neck represents depression and breathlessness. The theme and style of the album
are all refined from their own lives. The emotions and themes interpreted in her songs
make the audience feel more deeply that her album is her life. Without even using any
real words, fans can surmise what this means — a reference to the endless headlines
and stories the singer has spurred in recent years. (Primeau) Reputation, come to diss
the past and all opponents.
The lyrics and MV are full of real stalks in Taylor Swift's life , with Taylor's
resentment for circles and industry since his debut. In the era of streaming singles, she
is the rare young star who still worships at the altar of the album, an old-fashioned
instinct that serves her surprisingly well. (Battan) "Look What You Made Me Do" is a
counterattack against Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and numerous
online "black mold". And .

Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but two examples of nature’s sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.
In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.
Of course, humans don’t fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the general well-being of patients.
Post
a description of experiences or observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization. Suggest at least one strategy on how these interactions might be improved. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain the impact you believe the continued evolution of nursing informatics as a specialty and/or the continued emergence of new technologies might have on professional interactions.

ZACHARY SHEMTOB AND DAVID LAT
Zachary Shemtob, formerly editor in chief of the Georgetown Law Review, is a clerk in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. David Lat is a former federal prosecutor. Their essay originally appeared in the New York Times in 2011.
Executions Should Be Televised
Earlier this month, Georgia conducted its third execution this year. This would have passed relatively unnoticed if not for a controversy surrounding its videotaping. Lawyers for the condemned inmate, Andrew Grant DeYoung, had persuaded a judge to allow the recording of his last moments as part of an effort to obtain evidence on whether lethal injection caused unnecessary suffering.
Though he argued for videotaping, one of Mr. DeYoung’s defense lawyers, Brian Kammer, spoke out against releasing the footage to the public. “It’s a horrible thing that Andrew DeYoung had to go through,” Mr. Kammer said, “and it’s not for the public to see that.”
We respectfully disagree. Executions in the United States ought to be made public.
Right now, executions are generally open only to the press and a few select witnesses. For the rest of us, the vague contours are provided in the morning paper. Yet a functioning democracy demands maximum accountability and transparency. As long as executions remain behind closed doors, those are impossible. The people should have the right to see what is being done in their name and with their tax dollars.
This is particularly relevant given the current debate on whether specific methods of lethal injection constitute cruel and unusual punishment and therefore violate the Constitution.
There is a dramatic difference between reading or hearing of such an event and observing it through image and sound. (This is obvious to those who saw the footage of Saddam Hussein’s hanging in 2006 or the death of Neda Agha-Soltan during the protests in Iran in 2009.) We are not calling for opening executions completely to the public — conducting them before a live crowd — but rather for broadcasting them live or recording them for future release, on the web or TV.
When another Georgia inmate, Roy Blankenship, was executed in June, the prisoner jerked his head, grimaced, gasped, and lurched, according to a medical expert’s affidavit. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Mr. DeYoung, executed in the same manner, “showed no violent signs in death.” Voters should not have to rely on media accounts to understand what takes place when a man is put to death.
Cameras record legislative sessions and presidential debates, and courtrooms are allowing greater television access. When he was an Illinois state senator, President Obama successfully pressed for the videotaping of homicide interrogations and confessions. The most serious penalty of all surely demands equal if not greater scrutiny.
Opponents of our proposal offer many objections. State lawyers argued that making Mr. DeYoung’s execution public raised safety concerns..

This document summarizes a lecture on the social organization of Hindustani music. It discusses key terms like gharana (musical lineage), khandan (musical family), and the distinction between soloists and accompanists. Socially, soloists came from higher castes than accompanists. Musically, the performance structure involved a soloist leading with accompanists following. Over time, accompanists gained more prominence and independence, filling important musical roles and occasionally challenging the traditional hierarchy. Lineage and pedigree (gharana/khandan) became important for musicians' social and musical identities.

Chapter 2
Some Theories and Theorists on Leadership
Organizing the research on school leadership into a set of princi
ples that current and future school leaders can
use to guide their behavior obviously requires that we stand on t
he shoulders of those who have made similar
efforts. In this chapter we briefly review some of the more prom
inent theories and theorists on leadership. In
subsequent chapters you will find that much of what we found i
n our meta-analysis strongly supports the major
elements of these theories and theorists.
Some Prominent Theories
Many theories of leadership have been influential in guiding sch
ool leaders. Here we examine a few of the
theories that were foundational to our analysis of the research.
Transformational and Transactional Leadership
Two terms that are bandied about in discussions of leadership in
business and education are transformational
leadership and transactional leadership. Both terms have their ro
ots in the work of James Burns, who is
2. generally considered the founder of modern leadership theory.
Working primarily in the area of politics, Burns
(1978) first drafted a robust and compelling definition of leader
ship in general:
I define leadership as leaders inducing followers to act for certa
in goals that represent the values
and the motivation—
the wants and the needs, the aspirations and expectations—
of both leaders
and followers. And the genius of leadership lies in the manner i
n which leaders see and act on their
own and their followers' values and motivations. (p. 19)
Within his general definition, Burns made a fundamental distinc
tion between two types of
leadership: transactional and transformational (which he referre
d to as “transforming”). In general terms,
transactional leadership is defined as trading one thing for anoth
er (quid pro quo), whereas transformational
leadership is more focused on change.
In more specific terms, Bass and Avolio (1994) describe three f
orms of transactional leadership: management-
by-exception-passive, management-by-exception-active, and con
structive transactional. Sosik and Dionne
(1997) explain that management-by-exception-passive involves
setting standards but waiting for major problems
to occur before exerting leadership behavior. Followers of this l
eadership style typically believe that their job is to
maintain the status quo. Leaders who demonstrate management-
by-exception-active pay attention to issues that
arise, set standards, and carefully monitor behavior. In fact, the
y are so aggressive in their management behavior
that followers of this leadership style believe that they should n
ot take risks or demonstrate initiative. Constructive
3. transactional leadership is the most effective and active of the tr
ansactional leadership styles. This type of
transactional leader sets goals, clarifies desired outcomes, excha
nges rewards and recognition for
accomplishments, suggests or consults, provides feedback, and
gives employees praise when it is deserved. The

distinguishing feature of this transactional leadership style is th
at followers are invited into the management
process more than is the case with the other two styles. Followe
rs generally react by focusing on and achieving
expected performance goals.
Transformational leadership is the favored style of leadership gi
ven that it is assumed to produce results beyond
expectations (Bass, 1985; Burns, 1978). According to Burns (19
78), transformational leaders form “a
relationship of mutual stimulation and elevation that converts fo
llowers into leaders and may convert leaders into
moral agents” (p. 4). As articulated by Bass (1985), four factors
characterize the behavior of transformational
leaders: individual consideration, intellectual stimulation, inspir
ational motivation, and idealized influence. These
are referred to as the “Four I's” of transformational leadership (
Sosik & Dionne, 1997). Individual consideration
is characterized by giving “personal attention to members who s
eem neglected” (Bass, 1990, p. 218). Intellectual
4. stimulation is characterized by enabling “followers to think of o
ld problems in new ways” (Bass, 1990, p. 218).
Inspirational motivation is characterized by communicating “hig
h performance expectations” (Bass, 1990, p.
218) through the projection of a powerful, confident, dynamic p
resence that invigorates followers. Finally,
idealized influence is characterized by modeling behavior throu
gh exemplary personal achievements, character,
and behavior.
Transformational Leadership in Education
Building on the work of Burns (1978), Bass (1985), and Bass an
d Avolio (1994), Kenneth Leithwood (1994)
developed the transformational model of school leadership. He
notes that the Four I's of transformational
leadership identified by Bass and Avolio (1994) are necessary s
kills for school principals if they are to meet the
challenges of the 21st century. For example, the school leader m
ust attend to the needs of and provide personal
attention to individual staff members, particularly those who see
m left out (individual consideration). The effective
school administrator must help staff members think of old probl
ems in new ways (intellectual stimulation).
Through a powerful and dynamic presence the effective school a
dministrator must communicate high
expectations for teachers and students alike (inspirational motiv
ation). Finally, through personal accomplishments
and demonstrated character, the effective principal must provide
a model for the behavior of teachers (idealized
influence).
Total Quality Management
Edward Deming (1986) is generally considered the founder of to
tal quality management (TQM), largely because
5. he provided the framework for post-World War II Japan to resto
re its manufacturing base and for U.S. firms
such as Ford and Xerox to improve the quality of their products
and services (Sosik & Dionne, 1997). Although
TQM was created for the world of business, it has had a strong i
nfluence on leadership practices in education.
Central to Deming's conception of TQM are 14 principles that p
ertain to organizations of all types. Waldman
(1993) proposed that Deming's 14 points can be organized into f
ive basic factors that more specifically define
the actions of an effective leader: change agency, teamwork, co
ntinuous improvement, trust building, and
eradication of short-term goals.
Change Agency. Sosik and Dionne (1997) define change agency
as the leader's ability to stimulate change in an
organization. The leader does so by analyzing the organization's
need for change, isolating and eliminating
structures and routines that work against change, creating a shar
ed vision and sense of urgency, implanting plans

and structures that enable change, and fostering open communic
ation.
Teamwork. One of the distinguishing features of TQM is the im
portance of teams within an organization. Sosik
and Dionne (1997) define teams in the following way:
6. Teams consist of two or more individuals with complementary s
kills who interact with each other
toward a common task-oriented purpose. Team members conside
r themselves to be collectively
accountable for the attainment of their goals. Teams are formed
to serve organizational interests
within departments, and across departments and divisions. (p. 4
49)
The effective leader is not only involved in establishing teams,
but also sees to their viability by providing
necessary resources and support.
Continuous Improvement. This is a concept that is derived from
the Japanese termkaizen, which means
(roughly) the continual and incremental improvement of the crit
ical aspects of the organization by all members of
the organization (see Masaaki, 1986). According to Deming (19
86), a leader must “invite” continuous
improvement into the organization and keep it alive by keeping
the goals of the organization up front in the minds
of employees and judging the effectiveness of the organization i
n terms of these goals.
Trust Building. As the term implies, trust building involves crea
ting a climate in which employer and employees
perceive the organization as a “winwin” environment (Covey, 1
991). Sosik and Dionne (1997) describe trust
building as “the process of establishing respect and instilling fai
th into followers based on leader integrity, honesty,
and openness” (p. 450). Leaders establish an atmosphere of trust
by their daily actions. Specific actions leaders
must exhibit include knowing the concerns of employees, knowi
ng what motivates employees, and knowing the
necessary conditions for employees to operate at levels of maxi
7. mum effectiveness.
Eradication of Short-Term Goals. Deming uses this term to refer
to the eradication of the types of goals
traditionally set within an MBO (management by objectives) mo
del as articulated by Peter Drucker (1974).
Specifically, this means the elimination of goals that are based
on quotas, are highly numerical, and are short-
term. According to Sosik and Dionne (1997), Deming had a part
icular disdain for such goals and their emphasis
on short-term quantitative results. This is not to say that Demin
g was averse to specific goals. However, the goals
he advocated were focused more on process and the long-term p
erspective. The effective leader not only helps
establish the criteria around which goals are established, but als
o participates in the goals' design and
implementation.
Servant Leadership
The term servant leadership first appeared in the leadership liter
ature in the 1970s. It is attributed to Robert
Greenleaf (1970, 1977), who believed that effective leadership e
merges from a desire to help others. This
perspective stands in sharp contrast to those theories (such as tr
ansactional leadership) that emphasize control or
“overseeing” those within the organization.
Servant leadership also has a unique perspective on the position
of the leader within the organization. Instead of
occupying a position at the top of a hierarchy, the servant leader
is positioned at the center of the organization.
This implies that the servant leader is in contact with all aspects
of the organization and the individuals within it as
opposed to interacting with a few high-level managers who also
occupy positions in the upper strata of the

hierarchy.
The central dynamic of servant leadership is nurturing those wit
hin the organization. Consequently, critical skills of
servant leadership include the following:
Understanding the personal needs of those within the organizati
on
Healing wounds caused by conflict within the organization
Being a steward of the resources of the organization
Developing the skills of those within the organization
Being an effective listener
Although servant leadership is typically not embraced as a comp
rehensive theory of leadership as are some other
theories (such as TQM), it has become a key component of the t
hinking of many leadership theorists (see, for
example, Covey, 1992; Elmore, 2000; Spillane, Halverson, & Di
amond, 2001).
9. Situational Leadership
The theory of situational leadership is typically associated with
the work of Paul Hersey and Kenneth Blanchard
(Blanchard, Carew, & Parisi-Carew, 1991; Blanchard & Hersey,
1996; Blanchard, Zigarmi, & Zigarmi, 1985;
Hersey, Blanchard, & Johnson, 2001). The basic principle under
lying situational leadership is that the leader
adapts her leadership behavior to followers' “maturity,” based o
n their willingness and ability to perform a
specific task. Four leadership styles match high and low willing
ness and ability to perform a task:
When followers are unable and unwilling to perform a given tas
k, the leader directs the followers' actions
without much concern for personal relationships. This style is re
ferred to as high task-low relationship
focus, or the “telling” style.
When followers are unable but willing to perform the task, the l
eader interacts with followers in a friendly
manner but still provides concrete direction and guidance. This
style is referred to as high task-high
relationship focus, or the“participating” style.
When followers are able but unwilling to perform the task, the l
eader does not have to provide much
direction or guidance but must persuade followers to engage in t
he task. This style is referred to as low
task-low relationship focus, or the “selling” style.
When followers are able and willing to perform the task, the lea
der leaves the execution of the task to the
followers with little or no interference, basically trusting follow
ers to accomplish the task on their own. This
style is referred to as low task-high relationship focus, or the “d
10. elegating” style.
The effective leader is skilled in all four styles and knows the a
bility level of followers along with their willingness
to perform specific tasks. The effective leader realizes that no o
ne leadership style is appropriate for all followers
and all situations and accurately discerns which styles are appro
priate for which followers in which situations.

Instructional Leadership
Perhaps the most popular theme in educational leadership over t
he last two decades has been instructional
leadership. In their review of contemporary literature on leaders
hip, Leithwood, Jantzi, and Steinbach (1999)
note that instructional leadership is one of the most frequently
mentioned educational leadership concepts in
North America. Yet, despite its popularity, the concept is not w
ell defined.
The description of instructional leadership that has attained the
highest level of visibility over the years is that by
Wilma Smith and Richard Andrews (1989). They identify four d
imensions, or roles, of an instructional leader:
resource provider, instructional resource, communicator, and vis
ible presence. As a resource provider the
principal ensures that teachers have the materials, facilities, and
11. budget necessary to adequately perform their
duties. As an instructional resource the principal actively suppo
rts day-to-day instructional activities and
programs by modeling desired behaviors, participating in inserv
ice training, and consistently giving priority to
instructional concerns. As a communicator the principal has cle
ar goals for the school and articulates those goals
to faculty and staff. As a visible presence the principal engages
in frequent classroom observations and is highly
accessible to faculty and staff.
Others have proposed slightly different lists of the defining char
acteristics of instructional leadership. For
example, in their Reflection-Growth (RG) model, Blase and Bla
se (1999) identify the following characteristics:
encouraging and facilitating the study of teaching and learning,
facilitating collaborative efforts among teachers,
establishing coaching relationships among teachers, using instru
ctional research to make decisions, and using the
principles of adult learning when dealing with teachers. Glickm
an, Gordon, and Ross-Gordon (1995) identify the
following: direct assistance to teachers in their day-to-day activ
ities, development of collaborative groups among
staff, design and procurement of effective staff development act
ivities, curriculum development, and use of action
research. Hallinger, Murphy, Weil, Mesa, and Mitman (1983) id
entify three general functions of the instructional
leader: defining the school's mission, managing curriculum and
instruction, and promoting a positive school
climate. Finally, instructional leadership has also been linked w
ith transformational leadership. According to
Leithwood, Jantzi, and Steinbach (1999), transformational leade
rship is an expansion of instructional leadership
because it “aspires, more generally, to increase members' efforts
on behalf of the organization, as well as develop
more skilled practice” (p. 20).
12. Some Prominent Theorists
A number of theorists have greatly influenced leadership practic
e in K–12 education. Again, we consider only a
few whose work was foundational to our analysis of the researc
h literature.
Warren Bennis
Warren Bennis (2003) focuses on the future. In his book On Bec
oming a Leader, he forecasts the behaviors
necessary for leadership in the 21st century. He emphasizes the
fact that modern leaders must not rely on their
personal skills or charisma to produce change. He identifies fou
r critical characteristics of effective leadership.
First, leaders must be able to engage others through the creation
of a shared vision. Second, leaders must have a
clear voice that is distinctive to constituents. This voice should
be characterized by a sense of purpose, a sense of
self, and self-confidence. Third, leaders must operate from a str
ong moral code and a belief in a higher good that

fuels their efforts. Finally, leaders must have the ability to adap
t to relentless pressure to change. In Leaders:
Strategies for Taking Charge, Bennis and Nanus (2003) relate th
is characteristic to Burns's notion of
13. transformational leadership.
Peter Block
In the book The Answer to How Is Yes: Acting on What Matters
, Peter Block (2003) frames leadership as the
act of effective questioning. Specifically, he suggests that askin
g “how” questions too early in the change process
undermines the power of dialogue. Block suggests that effective
leaders are social architects who create a “social
space” that enhances or inhibits the effectiveness of an organiza
tion. The ideal social space is one conducive to
solving even the most perplexing of organizational problems. Fo
r Block, critical leadership skills include
convening critical discussions, naming the question, focusing di
scussion on learning as opposed to premature
closure on solutions, and using strategies for participative desig
n of solutions.
Marcus Buckingham and Donald Clifton
Through their work with the Gallup Corporation, Marcus Bucki
ngham and Donald Clifton (2001) identified 34
signature “talents” or “strengths” that individuals within an org
anization might possess. Each individual is strong in
a few of these talents and weak in some. Buckingham and Clifto
n suggest that to build a “strengthsbased”
organization, a leader should spend a great deal of time selectin
g the right people up front, legislate outcomes as
opposed to the style or manner in which outcomes are accomplis
hed, focus training on building identified
strengths, and avoid promoting people to positions where their s
trengths are not an asset, or, stated differently,
avoid promoting people out of their areas of strength.
James Collins
14. James Collins's (2001) highly influential work on the nature of
businesses that have gone from “good to great”
has made its mark in education as well as the business world. C
ollins's research indicates that the difference
between “good” companies and “great” companies is the presen
ce of what he refers to as Level 5 leaders.
Collins explains that Level 5 leaders are more interested in buil
ding a great company than they are in drawing
attention to themselves. They blend personal humility with inten
se personal will. They exhibit intense commitment
to doing what matters most in their companies regardless of the
difficulties. When things go wrong, they tend to
look inward for the reasons as opposed to ascribing blame to ext
ernal factors. Other characteristics of Level 5
leaders include the following:
Relying on high standards as the primary vehicle for attaining g
oals, as opposed to personal charisma
Surrounding themselves with the right people to do the job
Creating a culture of discipline
Honestly looking at the facts regarding their companies
Entertaining difficult questions regarding the future of their co
mpanies

15. 10!/4/12/[email protected]:0 7/12
Stephen Covey
The work of Stephen Covey, like that of Collins, has been highl
y influential in education even though it is not
directed toward educators per se. Best known for the book The 7
Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey
(1989) posits seven behaviors that generate positive results in a
variety of situations. He frames these habits as
directives.Be proactive refers to controlling your environment a
s opposed to letting it control you. The effective
leader must control his environment by responding to key situati
ons and circumstances. Begin with the end in
mind means that an effective leader always keeps the goals of th
e organization in mind. Put first things
first refers to focusing on those behaviors that are directly relat
ed to the goals of the organization. Actions to this
end have priority over all other actions. Think win-win involves
ensuring that all members of an organization
benefit when the goals of the organization are realized.Seek firs
t to understand and then to be
understood involves establishing strong lines of communication
by listening to and understanding the needs of
those within the organization. Synergize refers to the principle t
hat cooperation and collaboration will produce
more than can be expected from the isolated efforts of individua
ls. Sharpen the saw involves learning from
previous mistakes and developing skills to ensure that they are
not repeated.
Covey's book Principle-Centered Leadership (1992) builds on th
e seven habits as the basic operating
principles of effective leadership. However, this second work e
mphasizes the need for leaders to have a strong
sense of purpose in their own lives and principles that guide the
16. ir actions day-to-day. For Covey, effective
leaders communicate by their actions a clear sense of purpose a
nd what their lives stand for.
The third book by Covey commonly used in education is First T
hings First (Covey, Merrill, & Merrill, 1994).
Although he addresses the concept of time management, Covey
expands on traditional treatments of this topic by
emphasizing the highest and best use of a person's time. For Co
vey the selection of a next step is guided as much
by a person's purpose in life as it is by the demands of the task
at hand. Thus for Covey, the highest and best use
of a person's time is that action that most effectively addresses t
he problems at hand and is most consistent with
the individual's identified purposes in life.
Richard Elmore
Richard Elmore (2000) provides a unique perspective on the rol
e of leadership. He agrees with those who
promote instructional leadership in that he emphasizes the impo
rtance of understanding effective practices in
curriculum, instruction, and assessment and the ability to work
with teachers on the day-to-day problems related
to these topics. He warns, however, that the knowledge base one
must have to provide guidance on curriculum,
instruction, and assessment is vast. Elmore's solution is an orga
nization that distributes the responsibility for
leadership. Although the principal might not have the time, ener
gy, or disposition to master the extant knowledge
base regarding curriculum, instruction, and assessment, others
within a school might. In short, Elmore calls for the
use of distributed models of leadership as opposed to models th
at look to the principal to provide all leadership
functions for the school.
17. Michael Fullan
Michael Fullan's contribution to the theory on leadership is exp
ansive but also focused on the process of change
and leadership for change. In Change Forces: Probing the Depth
s of Educational Reform (1993), he argues
9/1/2016
Bookshelf Online: School Leadership That Works: From Resear
ch to Results
https://bookshelf.vitalsource.com/#/books/9781416612308/cfi/6/
10!/4/12/[email protected]:0 8/12
that educational reformers are fighting a battle that is not “winn
able” given that the system has a propensity to
continually seek change but is inherently averse to it. Although
he offers no simple solution to this dilemma, he
suggests new ways of thinking about change that include seeing
problems as opportunities, realizing that change
cannot be mandated, ensuring that individualism and collectivis
m have equal power, and designing schools to be
learning communities. In Leading in a Culture of Change (2001)
, Fullan offers a blueprint for leading change.
Based on the premise that the knowledge base regarding effectiv
e leadership has reached a point that provides
clear guidance to school leaders and the premise that all leaders
can become effective, he identifies five
characteristics of effective leadership for change: moral purpose
; understanding the change process; strong
relationships; knowledge sharing; and coherence, or connecting
new knowledge with existing knowledge.
Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky
18. Ronald Heifetz (1994) and Marty Linsky (Heifetz & Linsky, 200
2a, 2002b) emphasize the need to adapt
leadership behavior to the requirements of the situation. They m
ake a fundamental distinction between three
types of situations an organization might encounter. Type I situ
ations are those for which traditional solutions will
typically suffice. They involve those problems that are part of t
he normal day-to-day life of an organization.
Leadership behaviors that are most appropriate for these situatio
ns include establishing routines and operating
procedures and protecting staff from problems that might distra
ct them from their work. Type II situations are
those for which traditional solutions will not suffice. Leadershi
p behavior that is most appropriate in these
situations includes providing resources that help those in the or
ganization identify new ways of addressing
problems. Finally, Type III situations are those that cannot be a
dequately addressed within the context of an
organization's current beliefs and values. These situations often
require the leader to orchestrate conflict to
facilitate the evolution of new beliefs and values that allow for
actions not possible within the context of the old
system. In Type III situations, leaders use their authority to shif
t responsibility for the success of the organization
to stakeholders.
James Spillane
James Spillane and his colleagues (Spillane & Sherer, 2004; Spi
llane, Halverson, & Diamond, 2001, 2003)
focus their attention on the concept of distributed leadership. Ra
ther than defining distributed leadership as the
mere distribution of tasks, they characterize it as an interactive
web of leaders and followers who periodically
change roles as the situation warrants. Critical to their concept
19. of distributed leadership are three ways that
leadership functions can be distributed or “stretched out” over
multiple leaders: collaborative
distribution occurs when the actions of one leader become the b
asis for the actions of another leader; collective
distribution occurs when leaders act separately and independentl
y but for a shared goal; and coordinated
distributionoccurs when sequential tasks are led by different ind
ividuals.
Other Synthesis Efforts
Like the research that forms the basis for this book, other promi
nent synthesis efforts have examined the research
of others in an attempt to identify some broad principles about s
chool leadership. Here we consider some of
those other efforts.

We went back 35 years in our examination of the research litera
ture—back to the early 1970s, the heyday of the
school effectiveness movement. A general conclusion from the s
chool effectiveness literature of the 1970s was
that educational leadership was an important characteristic of ef
fective schools (Brookover et al., 1979;
Brookover et al., 1979; Edmonds, 1979a, 1979b; Rutter et al., 1
979). Specific behaviors associated with
effective leadership included monitoring student progress on sp
20. ecific learning goals, supervising teachers,
promoting high expectations for student achievement and teache
r performance, focusing on basic skills, and
monitoring the curriculum. Many of the studies on which these
conclusions were based used research designs
comparing “highachieving” and “lowachieving” schools, exam
ining the characteristics of both groups to find
critical differences. Such studies are called “outlier studies.” Si
nce the 1970s, many articles and books have
described the characteristics of effective schools, but there have
been only a few efforts to synthesize the
research on school leadership that may be compared with ours.
In their article entitled “Exploring the Principal's Contribution t
o School Effectiveness: 1980–1995,” Philip
Hallinger and Ronald Heck (1998) synthesized the findings fro
m 40 empirical studies that were conducted
between 1980 and 1995. They organized those studies into three
broad categories: studies that used “direct
effect” models, studies that used “mediated effect” models, and
studies that used “reciprocal effect” models.
Direct effect models are those that posit a direct link between pr
incipal behavior and student achievement. This
was basically the approach taken in the school effectiveness stu
dies of the 1970s—if the principal engages in
certain behaviors, student achievement is enhanced; if the princi
pal doesn't engage in these behaviors,
achievement is not enhanced. Mediated effect models assume th
at the principal influences student achievement
only through others—
specifically teachers. In more technical terms, mediated effect
models assume that a
principal affects student achievement through a number of indir
ect paths that involve factors such as events,
people, culture, and structures. Finally, models based on recipro
cal effects assume that the principal and the
21. teachers affect each other. The actions of the principal affect th
e actions of the teachers, which, in turn, affect the
actions of the principal. These models involve multiple paths be
tween variables.
Kathleen Cotton (2003) published the findings of her narrative r
eview of the literature in the book Principals
and Student Achievement: What the Research Says. Recall from
the discussion in Chapter 1 that a narrative
review is one in which the reviewer conducts a strictly logical (
as opposed to quantitative) analysis of the
research, looking for patterns and trends. Focusing on studies fr
om 1985 until the present, Cotton reviewed 81
reports in all, some of which dealt with more than one topic. Fif
ty-six of those reports dealt with the influence of
principal leadership on student achievement, 10 dealt with the e
ffect of principal leadership on student attitudes, 8
with student behavior, 15 with teacher attitudes, 4 with teacher
behavior, and 3 with dropout rates. Cotton
identified 25 categories of principal behavior that positively aff
ect the dependent variables of student
achievement, student attitudes, student behavior, teacher attitud
es, teacher behaviors, and dropout rates. Here
are the 25 categories:
1. Safe and orderly environment
2. Vision and goals focused on high levels of student learning
3. High expectations for student learning
4. Self-confidence, responsibility, and perseverance
5. Visibility and accessibility

16. Discussion of instructional issues
17. Classroom observation and feedback to teachers
18. Support of teachers' autonomy
19. Support of risk taking
23. 20. Professional development opportunities and resources
21. Protecting instructional time
22. Monitoring student progress and sharing findings
23. Use of student progress for program improvement
24. Recognition of student and staff achievement
25. Role modeling
We list all 25 categories because they are quite similar to the lis
t we identified in our quantitative synthesis of the
research (see Chapter 4). Given that she performed a narrative r
eview of the literature, Cotton did not
quantitatively estimate the effect of principal leadership on stud
ent achievement. However, her conclusions were
fairly straightforward: She noted that principal leadership does
have an effect on student outcomes, albeit an
indirect one. Citing the work of others, she explains:
In general, these researchers find that, while a small portion of t
he effect may be direct—that is,
principals' direct interactions with students in or out of the class
room may be motivating, inspiring,
instructive, or otherwise influential—
most of it is indirect, that is, mediated through teachers and
others. (p. 58)

The synthesis study that is most similar to our efforts is that con
ducted by Bob Witziers, Roel Bosker, and Meta
Kruger (2003), entitled “Educational Leadership and Student Ac
hievement: The Elusive Search for an
Association.” The purpose of their study was to examine the qua
ntitative relationship between school leadership
and student academic achievement. Like us, they used meta-anal
ysis as their research methodology. Additionally,
like us, they used the correlation coefficient as the measure of t
he relationship between leadership and student
achievement. They examined studies from 1986 to 1996 across a
variety of countries. As mentioned in Chapter
1, their primary finding was that the overall leadership of the pr
incipal has almost no correlation with student
achievement. The correlation they found was .02—
substantially smaller than our finding of a correlation of .25.
To illustrate, contrast the implication of our findings with that o
f Witziers and his colleagues in terms of expected
gain in student achievement associated with an increase in leade
rship behavior. Based on our correlation of .25,
an increase in leadership behavior from the 50th percentile to th
e 84th is associated with an increase in student
achievement from the 50th percentile to the 60th percentile. If t
he Witziers correlation represents the true
relationship between leadership and student achievement, then a
n increase in leadership behavior from the 50th
percentile to the 84th is associated with an increase in student a
chievement from the 50th percentile to the 51st
percentile. Obviously, their meta-analysis implies that school le
adership has almost no effect on student
25. achievement. Indeed, one of their basic conclusions is that the “
tie between leadership and student achievement is
weak” (p. 418). However, they do qualify this generalization, no
ting that the findings for studies that assume an
indirect effect are more promising. The contrast between the Wi
tziers study and ours is important to
understanding the conclusions one can draw from research over
the last 35 years. We consider this contrast in
some depth in Chapter 3 and in Technical Note 6.
The final synthesis study that might be likened to ours is that by
Kenneth Leithwood, Karen Seashore Louis,
Stephen Anderson, and Kyla Wahlstrom (2004). Like Cotton's (
2003) study, it employs a narrative approach.
One finding of note is that they estimate that the correlation bet
ween leadership and student achievement is
between .17 and .22 (Leithwood, Seashore Louis, Anderson, &
Wahlstrom, 2004, p. 21). The high end of this
estimate is, of course, quite close to our estimate of .25. In fact,
one of their major conclusions is that leadership
is second only to classroom instruction among all school-related
factors that contribute to what students learn in
school. Where Cotton (2003) identified 25 categories of leaders
hip behavior and we identify 21 (seeChapter 4),
Leithwood and colleagues identify three basic practices as the “
core of successful leadership” (p. 8). Setting
direction accounts for the largest proportion of a leader's impact
. This set of practices is aimed at helping staff
members establish and understand the goals of the school and is
the foundation of a shared vision for the
school. Developing people involves building the capacity of tho
se within the school and using their strengths.
Specific behaviors associated with this category include “offeri
ng intellectual stimulation, providing individualized
support and providing appropriate models of best practice and b
eliefs considered fundamental to the
26. organization” (p. 9). Redesigning the organization involves cha
nging those organizational characteristics that
might “blunt or wear down educators' good intentions and actual
ly prevent the use of effective practices” (p. 9).
Specific practices associated with this category include strength
ening the school culture and building collaborative
processes.
Summary and Conclusions
Selected theories, theorists, and synthesis studies have provided
the foundation and reference points for many of
our conclusions. Theories such as transactional leadership, trans
formational leadership, and instructional
leadership, as well as the work of theorists including Collins, El
more, and Heifetz, provided a knowledge base

Chapter 1
In Search of School Leadership
Each school day more than 53.6 million students (National Cent
er for Education Statistics, 2002b) walk into
more than 94,000 K–
12 schools (National Center for Education Statistics, 2002a) in t
he hopes that the 13 years
of schooling they will experience will dramatically enhance thei
r chances of success in the modern world.
Indeed, evidence of income in 2001 supports these hopes. Accor
ding to the U.S. Census Bureau (March 2002),
the earning potential (that is, the median income) of a student w
ho graduates from high school is $19,900,
compared with $11,864 for a student who does not. If the high s
chool graduate completes college, that earning
potential increases to $37,203. A master's degree increases the f
igure to $49,324. A doctorate raises annual
income to $63,952, and with a professional licensure, it reaches
$71,606. School, then, can be the door to
advancement—at least financial advancement—
in our complex society. For a particular school to be the
launchpad to the levels of success sought by students, however,
it must operate effectively.
Whether a school operates effectively or not increases or decrea
ses a student's chances of academic success.
28. Marzano (2003) has shown that students in effective schools as
opposed to ineffective schools have a 44 percent
difference in their expected passing rate on a test that has a typi
cal passing rate of 50 percent. To illustrate,
consider two schools—
School A and School B. In terms of how they are run, School A
is effective and School
B is ineffective. (In Chapter 6 we consider the specific characte
ristics of effective versus ineffective schools.)
Now assume that the two schools have a typical population of st
udents—some with many advantages in their
home environment and background experiences; some with few
if any advantages; most somewhere in the
middle. If students in both schools take a test that has a typical
passing rate of 50 percent, we would expect 72
percent of the students in the effective school to pass the test an
d only 28 percent in the ineffective school to
pass—
a difference of 44 percent. This is depicted in Figure 1.1. (For a
n explanation of this scenario,
see Technical Note 1.)
Figure 1.1. Percentage of Students Expected to Pass or Fail a
Test in Effective Versus
Ineffective Schools
Effective School (A)
Expected Pass Rate: 72%
Expected Fail Rate: 28%
Ineffective School (B)
Expected Pass Rate: 28%
Expected Fail Rate: 72%
Although the difference in expected student achievement in “eff
ective” versus “ineffective” schools is dramatic,
29. the difference is even greater when we contrast “highly effectiv
e” schools with “highly ineffective” schools—
more specifically, the top 1 percent of schools with the bottom
1 percent. This scenario produces a difference in
passing rates of 70 percent. In the top 1 percent of schools we w
ould expect 85 percent of students to pass a test
that has a typical passing rate of 50 percent; in the bottom 1 per
cent of schools we would expect only 15 percent
to pass that same test. (See Technical Note 2 for a more detailed
explanation.)
The central question addressed in this book is this: To what exte
nt does leadership play a role in whether a
school is effective or ineffective? That is, How much of a schoo
l's impact on student achievement is due to the
leadership displayed in that school? We begin with some past an
d current beliefs about leadership.

Past and Current Beliefs About Leadership
If we consider the traditions and beliefs surrounding leadership,
we can easily make a case that leadership is
30. vital to the effectiveness of a school. In fact, for centuries peopl
e have assumed that leadership is critical to the
success of any institution or endeavor.
The concept of leadership dates back to antiquity. According to
Bass (1981), the study of leadership is an
ancient art. Discussions of leadership appear in the works of Pla
to, Caesar, and Plutarch. Additionally,
leadership is a robust concept that “occurs universally among al
l people regardless of culture, whether they are
isolated Indian villagers, Eurasian steppe nomads, or Polynesian
fisher folk” (p. 5).
Theories of leadership abound. They include approaches such as
the “greatman” theory, which suggests that, for
example, without Moses the Jewish nation would have remained
in Egypt and without Churchill the British
would have acquiesced to the Germans in 1940; trait theories, w
hich contend that leaders are endowed with
superior qualities that differentiate them from followers; and en
vironmental theories, which assert that leaders
emerge as a result of time, place, and circumstance. Regardless
of the theory used to explain it, leadership has
been intimately linked to the effective functioning of complex o
rganizations throughout the centuries.
The traditions and beliefs about leadership in schools are no dif
ferent from those regarding leadership in other
institutions. Leadership is considered to be vital to the successf
ul functioning of many aspects of a school. To
illustrate, the list below depicts only a few of the aspects of sch
ooling that have been linked to leadership in a
school building:
Whether a school has a clear mission and goals (Bamburg & An
drews, 1990; Duke, 1982)
31. The overall climate of the school and the climate in individual c
lassrooms (Brookover, Beady, Flood,
Schweitzer, & Wisenbaker, 1979; Brookover et al., 1978; Brook
over & Lezotte, 1979; Griffith, 2000;
Villani, 1996)
The attitudes of teachers (Brookover & Lezotte, 1979; Oakes, 1
989; Purkey & Smith, 1983; Rutter,
Maughan, Mortimore, Ouston, & Smith, 1979)
The classroom practices of teachers (Brookover et al., 1978; Br
ookover & Lezotte, 1979; McDill, Rigsby,
& Meyers, 1969; Miller & Sayre, 1986)
The organization of curriculum and instruction (Bossert, Dwyer,
Rowan, & Lee, 1982; Cohen & Miller,
1980; Eberts & Stone, 1988; Glasman & Binianimov, 1981; Oak
es, 1989)
Students' opportunity to learn (Duke & Canady, 1991; Dwyer, 1
986; Murphy & Hallinger, 1989)
Given the perceived importance of leadership, it is no wonder th
at an effective principal is thought to be a
necessary precondition for an effective school. To illustrate, a 1
977 U.S. Senate Committee Report on Equal
Educational Opportunity (U.S. Congress, 1970) identified the pr
incipal as the single most influential person in a
school:
In many ways the school principal is the most important and infl
uential individual in any school. He
or she is the person responsible for all activities that occur in an
d around the school building. It is
the principal's leadership that sets the tone of the school, the cli
32. mate for teaching, the level of
professionalism and morale of teachers, and the degree of conce
rn for what students may or may not
become. The principal is the main link between the community
and the school, and the way he or
she performs in this capacity largely determines the attitudes of
parents and students about the
school. If a school is a vibrant, innovative, child-centered place,
if it has a reputation for excellence
in teaching, if students are performing to the best of their abilit
y, one can almost always point to the
principal's leadership as the key to success. (p. 56)

Given the perceived importance of leadership in schools and the
central role of the principal in that leadership,
one might assume that suggestions regarding leadership practice
in schools are based on a clear, well-articulated
body of research spanning decades. Unfortunately, this assumpti
on is incorrect for at least two reasons. First, far
less research on school leadership has been done than one might
expect. To illustrate, in a review of the
quantitative research from 1980 to 1995, Hallinger and Heck (1
996) identified only 40 studies that address the
relationship between school leadership and student academic ac
hievement. In our analysis of the research over
the last 35 years, we found more than 5,000 articles and studies
33. that address the topic of leadership in schools,
but only 69 that actually examine the quantitative relationship b
etween building leadership and the academic
achievement of students. (We discuss our study in depth in Cha
pter 3.) In spite of the relative paucity of
empirical studies on school leadership, books recommending lea
dership practices for educational administrators
abound.
Second, the research that has been done on school leadership is
quite equivocal, or at least is perceived as such.
For example, some assert that it provides little specific guidanc
e as to effective practices in school leadership.
As Donmoyer (1985) explains:
Recent studies of schools invariably identify the principal's lead
ership as a significant factor in a
school's success. Unfortunately these studies provide only limit
ed insight into how principals
contribute to their school's achievements. (p. 31)
Others assert that the research does not even support the notion
that school leadership has an identifiable effect
on student achievement. For example, a recent synthesis of the r
esearch on school leadership concluded that
statistically there is almost no relationship between school leade
rship and student achievement. Specifically, as a
result of their analyses of 37 studies conducted internationally o
n the impact of building leadership on student
achievement, Witziers, Bosker, and Kruger (2003) report almost
no direct relationship. We deal with this
particular study in Chapters 2 and 3. However, taken at face val
ue, the findings from this study would lead one
to conclude that little effort should be put into developing leade
rs at the school building level.
34. A Different Perspective
The conclusions we offer in this book stand in sharp contrast to
those suggesting that the research on school
leadership provides no guidance as to specific leadership behavi
ors and to those suggesting that school
leadership has no discernable direct effect on student achieveme
nt. Our basic claim is that the research over the
last 35 years provides strong guidance on specific leadership be
haviors for school administrators and that those
behaviors have well-documented effects on student achievement
. A logical question is, How can we make such
claims in light of the previous statements regarding the research
(or lack thereof) on school leadership? The
answer lies partially in the research process we employed—
a methodology referred to as meta-analysis—which
is specifically designed for synthesis efforts such as ours.
The Nature and Function of Meta-Analysis
There have been a number of calls for a new paradigm of resear
ch in educational leadership (see Heck &
Hallinger, 1999; Hill & Guthrie, 1999). These calls come at a ti
me when the methodology of meta-analysis has
provided impressive advances in the art and science of synthesiz
ing studies within a given domain.
The term meta-analysis refers to an array of techniques for synt
hesizing a vast amount of research quantitatively.
The technique was formally developed and made popular by Ge
ne Glass and his colleagues in the early 1970s
(see Glass, 1976; Glass, McGaw, & Smith, 1981). Since then, in
dividuals in a variety of fields have used meta-
analysis to construct generalizations that were previously unava
ilable (see Hunt, 1997). For example, in his
book How Science Takes Stock: The Story of Meta-Analysis, H
35. unt provides compelling illustrations of the
successful use of meta-analysis in medicine, psychology, crimin
ology, and other fields.

In simple terms, meta-analysis allows researchers to form statist
ically based generalizations regarding the
research within a given field. We discuss some of the more tech
nical aspects of meta-analysis in Technical Note
3. Here we briefly consider some aspects of meta-analysis that a
re particularly important to our assertions about
the research on school leadership and our reasons for using this
particular methodology.
At least two questions might come to mind about our decision to
use meta-analysis. First, why did we choose to
synthesize the research of others as opposed to conducting a stu
dy of our own? That is, why didn't we study the
relationship between school leadership and student achievement
36. by examining a number of high- and low-
performing schools and the leadership in those schools instead o
f examining the research of others? The answer
is that any study we would have conducted, no matter how well
constructed, would have contained
“uncontrolled error” influencing its outcome.
As an example, assume we had been able to identify 10 principa
ls who were strong leaders and 10 principals
who were weak leaders and randomly assign them to serve for t
hree years in 20 schools with about the same
average academic achievement. In educational circles, this type
of study would be considered strong. In fact, the
No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, passed by an overwhelming
margin in both houses of Congress in December
2001 and signed into law on Jan. 8, 2002, recommends the use o
f research designs (like our hypothetical
example) that employ random assignment to experimental and c
ontrol groups as a form of what it refers to as
“scientifically based research” (see Goodwin, Arens, Barley, &
Williams, 2002). However, educators quickly
note that using a design like our hypothetical example is not onl
y impractical from a resource perspective (for
example, how can you find 20 principals willing to work for thr
ee years in a school to which they have been
assigned?), but unacceptable from an ethical perspective (how c
an you in good conscience assign 10 principals
to schools knowing that they are weak leaders?). Nevertheless, f
or illustrative purposes, let's assume that we
employed this rather “tight” empirical design. Even with this tig
ht level of control, the findings from the study
might be strongly influenced by uncontrolled factors, such as su
bstantive differences in the background and
experience of the teachers and in the family circumstances of th
e students in the various schools. Such factors
are sometimes referred to as “sampling error.”
37. In practice, it is impossible to control all the error that might cr
eep into a study. This is precisely why
researchers assign a probability statement to their findings. That
is, when a researcher reports that her findings
are significant at the .05 level, she is saying that her findings co
uld occur 5 times in 100 or less if they are a
function of some type of uncontrolled error. If she reports that h
er findings are significant at the .01 level, she is
saying that there is even less of a chance—1 in 100 or less—
that her findings are a function of this uncontrolled
error. Meta-analysis helps control for this error by examining fi
ndings across many studies. Doing this tends to
cancel out much of that uncontrolled error. Whereas the finding
s in one study might be influenced positively by
the background of the teachers, let's say, another study might be
influenced negatively by this same factor.
Across many studies the effect of this factor tends to cancel out.
The second question our use of meta-analysis might prompt is,
Why did we use a quantitative approach to
synthesis research as opposed to the more traditional approach o
thers have used (for example, Cotton, 2003)?
Indeed, every doctoral dissertation and every master's thesis in
education attempts to include a comprehensive
review of the research relative to its specific research topic. Ho
wever, these reviews typically use what is
referred to as a narrative approach (see Glass, 1976; Glass, Mc
Gaw, & Smith, 1981; Rosenthal, 1991; Rosenthal
& Rubin, 1982). With a narrative approach, a researcher attempt
s to logically summarize the findings from a
collection of studies on a topic by looking for patterns in those
studies. Unfortunately, the narrative approach is
highly susceptible to erroneous conclusions. To illustrate, in a s
tudy of the quality of narrative reviews, Jackson
(1978, 1980) found the following:
38. Reviewers tended to focus on only part of the full set of studies
they reviewed.
Reviewers commonly used crude and misleading representations
of the findings of the studies.
Reviewers usually reported so little about their method of analy
sis that no judgment could be made about
the validity of their conclusions.

Reviewers commonly failed to consider the methods used in the
studies they reviewed.
39. To examine the difference between reviewing research using a n
arrative approach versus a meta-analytic
approach, Cooper and Rosenthal (1980) conducted a study in wh
ich 40 graduate students were randomly split
into two groups. Both groups were asked to examine the same se
ven studies on gender differences in
persistence. Their basic task was to determine whether the seve
n studies supported the hypothesis that gender is
related to persistence. One group used the narrative approach an
d the other used a rudimentary form of meta-
analysis. What the two groups were not told was that, statistical
ly, the seven studies considered as a set
supported the hypothesis that gender and persistence are related.
The vast majority of graduate students in the
narrative group incorrectly concluded that the studies did not su
pport this hypothesis, whereas the vast majority
of graduate students in the meta-analysis group correctly conclu
ded that the studies did support the hypothesis.
Discussing this study, Glass, McGaw, and Smith (1981) note tha
t these are “strikingly different conclusions for
equivalent groups trying to integrate only seven studies” (p. 17)
. They go on to hypothesize that conclusions
based on narrative reviews of vast amounts of research are prob
ably strongly biased by the conventional wisdom
to which the synthesizer subscribes.
In summary, we chose to synthesize the research on leadership u
sing a quantitative, meta-analytic approach
because it provided the most objective means to answer the ques
tion, What does the research tell us about school
leadership?
Our Basic Findings
After examining 69 studies involving 2,802 schools, approximat
ely 1.4 million students, and 14,000 teachers,
40. we computed the correlation between the leadership behavior of
the principal in the school and the average
academic achievement of students in the school to be .25. We di
scuss the meaning of this correlation in depth in
Chapter 3; however, we briefly consider it here. We should first
caution that reducing the findings of a meta-
analysis, particularly one that claims to be as comprehensive as
ours, to a single correlation is at best an
oversimplification of the findings. In fact, Glass, commonly con
sidered to be the founder of modern-day meta-
analysis, warns against this practice (Robinson, 2004). With this
caution noted, we consider the average
correlation found in our meta-analysis because it is still the mos
t commonly used currency for discussing meta-
analytic findings in educational research.
To interpret the .25 correlation, assume that a principal is hired
into a district and assigned to a school that is at
the 50th percentile in the average achievement of its students. (
Technical Note 1 for further explanation.) Also
assume that the principal is at the 50th percentile in leadership
ability. We might say that we have an average
principal in an average school.
Now assume that the principal stays in the school for a few year
s. Our .25 correlation tells us that over time we
would predict the average achievement of the school to remain a
t the 50th percentile. But now let's increase the
principal's leadership ability by one standard deviation—
from the 50th percentile to the 84th percentile. This
increase might have occurred as a result of the principal's attend
ance at an extended set of courses or seminars
on leadership offered in the district. Our correlation of .25 indic
ates that over time we would predict the average
achievement of the school to rise to the 60th percentile. This inc
rease is depicted in Figure 1.2. In terms of the
41. average achievement of students in the school, this is substantia
l.

To further examine the interpretation of the .25 correlation, let's
increase the principal's leadership ability even
more—
from the 50th percentile to the 99th percentile. In other words, t
he leadership training the principal
attends is so powerful that it places the principal at the top perc
entile in leadership behavior. Our correlation of
.25 indicates that over time we would predict the average studen
t achievement of the school to rise to the 72nd
percentile. This is depicted in Figure 1.3.

Taken at face value, these findings are compelling. A highly eff
ective school leader can have a dramatic
influence on the overall academic achievement of students. Mos
t teachers, parents, and students would be
thrilled to the average performance of their school increase 22 p
ercentile points—even 10 percentile points.
Toward Research-Based Principles of School Leadership
Our meta-analysis was designed to determine what 35 years of r
esearch tells us about school leadership. We
report our findings in Chapter 3. However, we didn't stop with t
he findings. Rather, we wove those findings into
what we consider to be perhaps the most rigorous and comprehe
nsive set of principles regarding school
leadership to date. The reader should note that we purposely avo
id the use of the word theory in describing our
conclusions. Anderson (1983) explains that a theory is a precise
deductive system that allows one to accurately
predict behavior given knowledge of the variables within the the
ory. Principles are general rules for behavior but
do not constitute a precise predictive system. We offer principle
s as opposed to a theory in accordance with the
most current thinking in educational research. Again, to quote G
lass in his article marking the 25th anniversary
of meta-analysis, “We need to stop thinking of ourselves as scie
ntists listing grand theories, and face the fact that
we are technicians collecting and collating information” (2000,
43. p. 12). Glass credits Meehl (1978) as first
pointing out that the “soft social sciences” such as education si
mply cannot conceive, test, and advance theories
in the same manner as the hard sciences such as physics, chemis
try, medicine, and the like. This is not to say that
educators should not use the results of studies to develop genera
l rules or principles of behavior to guide them in
specific situations. This is precisely what we have attempted to
do.

Leadership has long been perceived to be important to the effect
ive functioning of organizations in general and,
more recently, of schools in particular. However, some research
ers and theorists assert that at best the research
on school leadership is equivocal and at worst demonstrates that
leadership has no effect on student
achievement. In contrast, our meta-analysis of 35 years of resea
rch indicates that school leadership has a
substantial effect on student achievement and provides guidance
for experienced and aspiring administrators
alike.
Week 1 Instructor Guidance
44. A warm welcome to EDU684. This is an exciting class where
we will review and create a school vision. Looking forward to
our six weeks together as a class!
WEEKLY LEARNING OUTCOMES
Before moving any further, please take a moment to review and
reflect on our learning expectations for the week; these are also
listed with their alignment to each assessment for the week on
the Week 1 Unit page:
· Analyze the impact school leadership has on creating a school
vision.
· Recognize the variety of leadership styles and their potential
influence on the vision making process.
WEEK 1 – OVERVIEW
In Week One, we will investigate leadership styles, discuss
barriers that can exist in education, and how leadership styles
reflect on our ability to unify a school towards a common goal.
The following section is an overview of our assessments for the
week. Specific instructions for each are listed on the Week 1
Unit page. Remember to refer to rubrics associated with each
assessment type (discussion or assignment) to understand how
the instructor will evaluate your work and determine your grade
for performance on each assessment.
In the Post Your Introduction discussion we will begin to build
our initial classroom community together. Although many of
you may be acquainted from prior courses, this course is our
unique opportunity to learn together around the topics of this
course!
Discussion 1: In the What’s Your Leadership Style? discussion
you will identify and discuss different leadership styles. During
participation in this discussion, ask yourself … what kind of
45. leader am I? What type of leader do I want to be? These are
good guiding questions to consider as you share about your
leadership style and reflect on the styles of peers in the
discussion.
Discussion 2: The Overcoming Challenges discussion has you
thinking about the myriad of challenges we may face as
teachers and leaders. This discussion is focused on having you
thinking about barriers and how to overcome them as they are
presented to you.
Assignment: This assignment Effective Leadership has you
reflecting on your week’s discussions on leadership and
intertwining your thoughts of shared leadership. As leaders we
are never a one man boat, it takes many to row the boat to the
finish line.
INTELLECTUAL ELABORATIONWhat Exactly is Leadership?
Have you ever heard the quote “One is not born a leader, one is
made a leader”? Do you think this is true? Think about the
following before you answer; as educators we sometimes
encounter students who are “natural” leaders in the classroom.
We recognize these students as those who gravitate towards
leadership positions in groups and throughout the various clubs
and activities in school. We can see these “natural leaders” in
the earliest stages of formal education; in preschool classes.
These are the students who take command of play time, dictate
what others will or won’t do with the blocks, and so forth. Do
we call them born leaders? Or are leadership skills fostered and
cultivated over even these earliest years? As you research this
topic you will find many discussing it online, such as Karen
Hurt, blogger and executive leader in a Fortune 15 company
who talks about the role of leadership in children.
Hurt’s blog is titled “Let's Grow Leaders.” In the blog, Hurt
46. discusses why we need to focus in on teaching children
leadership skills. Hurt provides a simple list of the eight ways
to nurture leadership in children.
· Teach them to give
· Talk to them like grown-ups
· Give them a say in some family decisions
· Nurture a love of reading
· Bring them along and give them a role
· Admit when you mess up
· Socialize with other leaders
· Teach them to craft and deliver a toast at a family gathering.
Realizing this class does not focus on teaching children
leadership skills, it is important however, to understand how
children achieve leadership skills as those skills make us who
we are as adult teacher leaders. The early years are our
foundation for the formulation of our leadership style and
ability.
Leadership Styles and Effective Leadership
Alvy and Robbins (2010) wrote a book called Learning from
Lincoln: Leadership Practices for School Success. In this book
they discuss how successful leaders have a purpose to carry out
a shared mission and value to promote equality. These authors
noted that if you take an in-depth look at Lincoln’s presidency
and leadership style you can reflect in the process of
formulating your own leadership style and what it means to you
in your lifetime to be a leader. The book also discussed how
effective leaders benefit from knowing the direction in which to
take the school and how to measure achievement of visions and
goals during leadership and to inform it as well. You can watch
Alvy and Robbins’ webinar where they discuss the book as it
relates to school leadership.
Barriers in Leadership
47. We have all faced barriers in our lives, be it professional or
academic. When we become leaders we will face a myriad of
barriers from the district office, fellow faculty or the
community. How we tackle these barriers is key.
In an article written by Hess (2013, April) he discussed the need
to be a Cage-Buster, and how as leaders we need to think about
things with “fresh eyes” and avoid the leadership traps. He
describes the leadership traps as Platitudes, Sucks Less, and
More, Better. In the Platitude trap leaders tend to look past the
bad and only view the positive results of the school. However
as leaders, we do benefit from looking past the positive and
focusing on the challenges that exist for the school. In the
Sucks Less trap we view achievement in blocks, for example we
may say; ”well this time last year…. remember that mess?”
This trap is a condition where we tend to identify situations that
were worse instead of looking at the current problems and
addressing them with timely and appropriate solutions. In the
More, Better trap, Hess discusses how as leaders we have the
“what if” scenario play through our heads. For example what if
we had more money, we could do x,y and z. If we had more of
something than we would be better at something. Such positive
thinking may lend itself to productive creative brainstorming
for solutions yet ultimately budgets do not often accommodate
all the initiatives needed for quickly achieving a vision for a
school.
In your text this week you will read about different types of
barriers. Just keep in mind that no barrier is too big to
overcome. You just have to keep a good attitude and think long
range.
Think about it!
“It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front,
especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur.
48. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will
appreciate your leadership.” Nelson Mandela

with peers, you are encouraged to provide responses to any
comments or questions others have posted for you (including
the instructor) before the last day of the discussion; this
continued interaction will further the conversations while also
giving you opportunities to network and get to know your
instructor and peers for more optimal engagement in the coming
weeks!
Discussions
To participate in the following discussions, go to this
week's Discussion link in the left navigation.
1. What's Your Leadership Style?
This Discussion is your opportunity to meet the course
objectives Analyze the impact school leadership has on creating
a school vision and Recognize the variety of leadership styles
and their potential influence on the vision making
process. Additionally, this discussion is your opportunity to
demonstrate mastery of the Course Learning Outcome 3 and
reinforces your competency with the MAED Program Learning
Outcomes 2, 5, 6 and 9.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do
more and become more, you are a leader”
—John Quincy Adams.
This quote by Adams evokes the true essence of leadership in
education; we want to inspire all school stakeholders to reach
for higher levels of learning and teaching. Our actions as
leaders can promote and sustain this inspiration in the school.
However, before we can promote higher levels of learning and
teaching we need to identify our own leadership style. In this
52. discussion you will read Chapter 2 of the required text by
Marzano, Waters & McNulty (2005). They discuss several
different school leadership styles. When we understand these
styles and their impact, we can develop our own approaches to
leadership and become effective leaders.
Initial Post
Address the following four points in your initial response in at
least one paragraph each.
· Discuss each leadership style referencing Marzano, Waters,
and McNulty (2005, p. 13-19).
· Describe the one style you most likely associate with in the
list and discuss why you identify yourself as that type of
leader.
· Discuss which leadership style you do not identify with in the
list and why.
· Share why it’s valuable to know your leadership style and how
it can aid or hinder progress when working toward a shared
vision and working collaboratively within a group.
Guided Response: Post replies to at least two peers before the
close date of this discussion. In your replies, consider asking
questions of peers about their responses to encourage further
conversation. Consider selecting a peer whose style differs from
your own and one that is similar. Provide feedback regarding
your peers reasons for identifying their particular leadership
type and why they identify with that type of leadership.
Though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper
engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide
responses to any comments or questions others have given to
you (including the instructor) before the last day of the
discussion; this will further the conversation while also giving
you opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical
thinking, and real world experiences with this topic.
2. Overcoming Challenges
53. This discussion is your opportunity to meet the course
objectives Analyze the impact school leadership has on creating
a school vision and Recognize the variety of leadership styles
and their potential influence on the vision making
process. Additionally, this discussion is your opportunity to
demonstrate mastery of the Course Learning Outcome 3 and
reinforces your competency with the MAED Program Learning
Outcomes 2, 5, 6 and 9.
Fullan (2003) notes two different types of barriers in school
leadership, self- imposed and system imposed. Self- imposed
barriers is when the “if only” feeling takes control. “If only X,
I could do my job better. Where X becomes any number of
external factors not under the speaker's control” (p.17). System-
imposed barriers include such things as; top-down changes that
are unclear or underdeveloped for use at the school level,
limited professional development for leadership and absence of
a system that promotes change. As you create your initial post
and replies for this discussion, keep Fullan’s ideas about
barriers in school leadership in mind as you think about the
different barriers you may face as a leader.
Initial Post
In a paragraph each, address the following:
b. Describe two barriers included, but not limited to those noted
above that could be potential obstacles for you in your creation
of a vision statement.
b. Explain some ways these potential barriers could be
overcome.
Guided Response: Post replies to at least two peers before the
close date of this discussion. In your replies, consider asking
questions of peers about their responses to encourage further
conversation. What barriers do you share with your peers? How
did your perceived barriers differ from that of your peers?
Remember, though two replies is the basic expectation, for
deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide
54. responses to any comments or questions others have given to
you (including the instructor) before the last day of the
discussion; this will further the conversation while also giving
you opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical
thinking, and real world experiences with this topic.

There are two species of marine otter, the North Pacific
sea otter and the South American marine otter. The North
Pacific sea otter is one of the largest mustelids. Males can grow
to almost 5 feet (1.5 meters) in length and weight up to 1009
pounds (45 kilograms). Females are slightly small. This otter
has thick fur that is dark brown, sometimes almost black, with
white hairs blended in.; It has white whiskers on its face. When
59. not in a hurry, North Pacific sea otters often swim on their
backs. They float that way, too, while using their bellies for
tables.
Sea otters are the heaviest members of the weasel family,
but among the smallest marine mammals. Unlike most marine
mammals, the sea otter's primary form of insulation is an
exceptionally thick coat of fur, the densest in the animal
kingdom. Although it can walk on land, the sea otter lives
mostly in the ocean.
I typed the top part of this exactly as written in The New Book
of Knowledge, and copied and pasted the second paragraph from
Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_otter. By the way,
Wikipedia is useful, but should never be used as a source to be
cited in your reports because it’s not always credible.
Credible – believable or trustworthy
*Important*
Paraphrasing
Even when you honestly cite your sources, most of the writing
should be in your own words. When you learn new information
from other sources, you should make notes and then write in
your own words, combining the information from all the
different sources. Even though it’s in your own words, you must
cite the source where you learned it from.
Example of paraphrasing process
Take notes (not full sentences) from the sources:
2 kinds of sea otter
North Pacific
South American
60. North Pacific sea otter biggest
males – 5 feet, 100 pounds
females smaller
Dark brown or black fur
White hairs
White whiskers
Swim and float on backs
Bellies = tables
Heaviest type of weasel
Smallest kind of marine mammal
Insulation = thick fur (What is insulation??)
Can walk on land, but lives in water

Paraphrasing Process (continued)
Use your notes to write the information in your own words.
Make sure to cite the source where you learned the information.
In-text citation – after you say something, put the author and
the year in parenthesis before the period at the end of your
sentence.
You only have to cite the source once….not every sentence,
unless you change sources. Then if you mention the first one
again, you have to cite it again.
Reference page – List all the sources you used in your paper.
Correct Paraphrasing Example
Sea otters are a kind of weasel and they are also marine
mammals. They are the biggest kind of weasel, but the smallest
kind of marine mammal (Wikipedia, 2012). There are two kinds
of sea otters. The North Pacific one is the biggest, and the
South American kind is smaller. North Pacific male sea otters
can be about five feet and weigh 100 pounds, and the females
are smaller (The New Book of Knowledge, 2007). They have
thick fur that is usually dark brown or black. Their thick fur
62. insulates them by keeping their heat inside their bodies
(Wikipedia, 2012). Sea otters swim and float on their backs a
lot (The New Book of Knowledge, 2007). They use their bellies
like a table to set their food . They can walk on the ground, but
they live in the water (Wikipedia, 2012).
Photos and Pictures
You even need to cite your sources for photos and pictures.
(David Menke, 2012)
Turnitin
Turnitin is a tool to check work for plagiarism. The score given
by Turnitin shows how much of the work is identical to other
sources. The score should be 15% or less, meaning that 85% of
the paper is in your own words.
Teachers use Turnitin to check their students’ work. It makes it
very EASY for teachers to catch you if you plagiarize.

63. Direct Quotations
When you include a direct quotation, you must enclose it in
quotation marks, and follow it with the author, date, and page or
paragraph number in parenthesis.
Example:
“Otters sometimes float in forests of kelp, or giant seaweed, in
which they entangle themselves to provide anchorage in the
swirling sea” (National Geographic, 2007, par. 2).
Knowing if something is plagiarized
Not only do teachers have tools like Turnitin to catch
plagiarism, they can tell when something is not in students’ own
words. One clue is when students write words they don’t even
understand or write in a way they don’t talk.
See part of the otter report as an example:
Here is how the people at National Geographic write. The parts
in red do NOT sound like a kid!
Sea otters like to float at the water's surface, lying on their
backs in a posture of serene repose. They sleep this way, often
gathered in groups. Otters sometimes float in forests of
seaweed, in which they entangle themselves to provide
anchorage in the swirling sea.
If a kid wrote it, it would sound like this:
Sea otters like to float on their backs on top of the water. They
feel nice and peaceful this way. They sleep this way, floating on
their backs, sometimes together with a lot of other otters.
Sometimes they float in seaweed so they can tie themselves to it
64. and not float away into the ocean when it’s stormy.
Reference List
The last page of your report should be the Reference Page. You
should type References at the top and then list all your sources
below, including the author’s name, year, title, and publishing
company or website.
You put the list in alphabetical order by author’s last name.
