I think that I am a sharing education leader. I constantly share my authority and thoughts, receive feedback, follow up and prepare my roadmap. But I also transform into other types from time to time. I am flexible and can change from place to time.

I relate more to instructional, transformational, and distributed leadership. depending on the situation, and the task at hand. Transformational and distributed leadership are important for the development of the school and empowerment of the staff. However, we cannot lose sight of the importance of teaching and learning in schools, and that is why instructional leadership is important also.

I think distributed leadership is the one I most relate with. I coordinate a group of teachers at regional level and I try to make all the important decisions on future steps in a collaborative way.

Instructional leadership is my style.In addition I keep in mind other leadership styles especially distrubuted leadership.For example to define goals I work cooperatively with my colleagues by distrubuted leadership but after deciding goals I instruct them.

I've led the way before. But this is my first year at school. Being fair and empathetic has always been important to me. They say I'm good at planning things. But everything is updated and refreshed. I don't know how good I am for these innovations.

I believe that I have been evolving in terms of leadership. I have been running the Center for several years and now I think I am about to move into distributed leadership. The Center began to function with me as director and at that time the leadership was educational, a few years later, I started with transformational and situational leadership. Now is the time to move on to distributed leadership.

All these types of leadership are new for me. I would like to start my new position by using instructional leadership, set my mission and vision. I see myself as a leader who shares his knowledge and experience with others, but also constantly learns from them.
In the future i hope to lean toward transformational leadership.

I strongly believe in Distributed Leadership and Situational Leadership. I think that both styles are linked with the culture of the school, which includes the personality and the values of the school.

I see myself using all types of leadership, really. But perhaps the one I identify most with is the transformational leadership. I’m that kind of person that believes the most important to motivate a person is not necessarily to promise them a salary increase but to tap them on the shoulder and recognise them for their achievements. I do it all the time, with everybody around me. A person that knows s/he is recognised by the leader is willing to work extra hours, feels the business as their own and goes the extra mile for the job. And this is something you can easily recognise anywhere. Imagine a store: it’s about to close when a last customer comes in. The person who feels recognised will accept the customer in, while the worker who is not given credit by the leader will close the store no matter what, because “it’s time to close”. The same pattern can be seen in schools.

But I also identify with distributed/shared leadership. I believe a good organization is the one where the leader trusts their staff and delegates work. I like to be in control, I cannot deny this, but in my leadership roles I always surround myself with people I trust and so I know we can collaborate and the workload can be distributed and shared.

This concept is new for me, but I think of two style of leadership that can be near me: Instructional leadership strongly and Transformational leadership

I find more characteristics in a transformational leader and a distributive leader.
I advocate "servant leadership", which allows for building bridges, and in that sense we need to share the leadership role with other elements.
As Archimedes said, "Give me a foothold and or I will raise the world", and we will have this foothold, this multiplying force, in others, hence we need to imply. When we involve people in change, it is faster, more accepted, effective and lasting.
Therefore, at work, we must distribute tasks, involve intermediate leaders and thus the idea is multiplied and will reach more employees.

In our school, I could say that two types of leadership are combined: instructional and distributed. Much emphasis is placed on the success of students and less on the well-being of both students and teachers. Unfortunately, there is an echo of communism. But, there are times when we can see components of distributed leadership, but it depends a lot on the mood of the leader and the case to be solved.

I find this very difficult because I can not see myself in one particular box.  I have even been asked this at interview and fail to answer it for myself.  The two areas that I feel that I am strong in are Transformational Leadership and Innovative Leadership. I do distribute leadership too very successfully and it helps build leadership capacity and sustainability.
Shared leadership with my Deputy Principal was very important to me and modelled good practice to my leadership team.

Determined and resolute leadership from the FARAH OMAR Secondary School Principal and teachers is crucial to improving the school that requires improvement. The Principal and teachers of FARAH OMAR secondary School from being judged ‘satisfactory’ to become good or better, they are clear that improving teaching and learning is at the heart of what needs to be done, they communicate their high expectations of staff and pupils effectively, and they lead by example, modeling the behavior they want from their staff.

I think I am more of a transformational leader and a distributional leader. It is important to share the leadership role with a united and cohesive team. When you involve people in change it is more effective.
In meetings I like to distribute the work and involve responsible people, who reach out to more staff. Listening to other opinions can give you a better perspective of the situation. Sometimes you need to be a formative leader, since you probably (because of you position) have a wider knowledge. You explain the rules, the educational laws, and give reasons and solutions.

I had a transformational school leadership style during my time as a headmaster. But i have to admit that i used all of the styles. But the transformational one was the most predominant.

We as leaders have to combine the four types of leadership because each command is complementary to the other.
And in the end all of it aims at one goal which is the progress of the educational process and coming up with an educated student who belongs to values and is able to innovate and solve problems

If I were a leader I would promote shared leadership. I think that it is very important to build a collaborative community if we want to achive a commopn goal. Shared leadership helps to be more inclusive and self-reflective. Shared leadership also has a positive impact on students achievement. This way we can improve educational equity.

Looking back at the beginning of my career, I have to admit that my leadership style, as a rule, was situational. With most positive intentions and minimum experience, I observed the situation and tried to meet teachers’, students’ or parents’ expectations and resolve issues that arose at the time. With practise, I realized that the goal of a school principal is to implement a long-term vision of a good school; to motivate, involve and empower the staff to promote a sustainable academic and ethical school culture. Today, as a school community, we have clear and evidence-based agreements on good inclusive education. We are constantly learning. We are able to work in teams and are not afraid to introduce pedagogical innovations that help our children to perform well. As a leader, when needed, I am ready and solve our “situational” problems and motivate people not to give up. But in the long-term perspective, I work hard, learn and advance my experience in instructional and distributed leadership.

I am very new in being officially in leadership, so I don't have a style of my own yet. What I aspire to be is a transformational leader who includes the staff members to the process of leading. I have come to understand that the culture plays an important role in the ways in which ppl think about the role of a leader. In Myanmar I feel my colleagues expect more top-down leading and don't feel always comfortable with distributed leadership and it rather confuses them sometimes. When thinking about what would motivate staff to move towards common goals, I believe it helps when the goals have been created with the staff together and everyone feels that the goals are theirs also. In addition, having the regular reflection on the goals and objectives would keep us hopefully "on track".

Among all leadership styles, those of distributed and transformational are the ones that i better identify myself with. The reason is that I strongly believe in the great potential of the transformational leadership model to inspire positive changes to others on one hand, and in the necessity to share leadership responsibilities and accountability with those who have relevant skills and expertise in order to improve  the quality of teaching, learning and pupil outcomes on the other hand.

Well I have never been in a leadership position, except if you consider being a class teacher one. I guess as a class teacher I try to be more a transformational one and distributed leadership too (but vigilant on how everything is working with everyone) with teachers and pupils (and some parents as well). My mission is to get to know who I work with, be aware of the strengths and weaknesses and try to motivate everyone in a discussed and accepted direction: there are behaviours that need to be changed: which and why? how - who contributes with what? what is the goal for everyone in the immediate future and in the long run? With students - there is a problem: identify causes, try to get solutions in small groups and share in larger groups and then in class ( like sitting students in a classroom - let's look and discuss proposals) - it takes much more time but I believe it is more effective ( although not always we see immediate results and it may get frustrating) because people feel part of the process. Easy? No way! It all depends who you are working with but compromise and plenty of wit is needed, be aware of situations/ opportunities and get them as they come (of course it gives a lot of work/trouble in thinking how to get everyone on track and without leaving  anyone behind (at least try not to) ... that's why I will never be a good leader ... The classroom is my place (but isn't the teacher a sort of leader and aren´t there pupils with leader profile among their peers?

Shared Leadership promotes co-responsibility and involvement of the entire community in the develpment of the educational project. Intermediate leaders are fundamental in disseminating the objectives that underlie the mission and vision of the leader.

I coordinate a group of teachers and I believe that distributed leadership is the leadership style that best adapts to my needs. Even though my personality tends to be quite instructional, I have learnt that delegating some tasks to other colleagues and trusting them is the key to collaboration and also allows me to have more time for other commitments.

# data[].attributes.body
Although I do not yet have any experience in leadership myself, I have been able to gather the experience that, in my opinion, distributed leadership best meets the requirements of school management. In addition to the large number of tasks that a single person cannot perform at all, the health of the school management and the acceptance of decisions within the staff also play a major role. The more teachers are involved in the decision, the more likely it is that the decision can also be implemented and checked by the teaching staff.

One of the most important things is that we need to understand the importance of building community  building community partnerships and leveraging those partnerships to cultivate inclusive, caring and culturally responsive school communities.

Today, the School's mission is focused on the development of both children and young people in terms of their training and education, the exercise of not only transformational but also ethical and moral leadership assumes a more significant relevance, with evident effects on society in general. . In this sense, it should be noted that the ethical and moral dimensions of organizational activity assume particular relevance when they refer to the educational context. Therefore, we consider that the effects of the conduct of institutions and their leaders in the interpersonal relationships that are established with teachers determine the psychosocial well-being of all participants in the educational and training process.

In other words, as the most effective form of leadership, it is focused, above all, on the processes of motivation and change of attitudes of its subordinates, based on the development of moral values ​​as well as the definition of superior ideals that should transcend individual interests. Based on four pillars of strategic action: The first refers to the ability to formulate and share a vision, which may represent an objective, a plan or a set of priorities. The second is related to the ability to convey the form of realization of the vision. The third is related to the capacity to build an environment of trust based on justice and coherence in which its persistence overcomes barriers and problems. The four, the development of a positive self-esteem, stimulating the development of my abilities as well as those of others so that success can be achieved.

My leadership style is probably a mixture, consisting mainly of shared leadership and transformational leadership. When a leader has mutual trust with his or her team, it its easy to share responsibilities and leadership with other team members.  I think it’s also neccessary to be able to  motivate staff in the direction of the school goals (transformational leadership).When there are group of responsible and reliable colleagues in your team, sharing leadership with them becomes much easier.

Distributed leadership is my favorite model. I like to observe the dynamics in my organization, but also in other organizations that I have the opportunity to enter and identify where there is expertise in that organization. Experience has shown me that expertise is not (only) with the person holding the position or formal role. In order to practice this type of leadership, it is necessary for the director to assume that his role is diminishing, but he can also easily prepare the work by delegating tasks.
Distributed leadership is successful where the members of the organization gather their expertise, take the initiative in assuming leadership responsibility, demonstrate leadership behaviors in key situations, without being asked or delegated tasks.
Studying the impact of this type of distributed leadership on our school organization led to the conclusion that it has a fairly large beneficial influence on the development of the personality of teachers and students and on the involvement of parents in school life.

I'm working in administration field during 5 years and I identify myself better with Distributed leadership emphasises. I believe that leadership is no longer just the responsibility of one formal leader. Lots of employees can take responsibility for their field, they can be empowered to believe that they can act and implement activities, achieve the set goals. However, it is my duty to allocate responsibilities in a timely manner, without pressure, or to enable me to take on the necessary responsibilities by showing confidence to them
