An administrator I work with is a task oriented leader.   She guides meetings with a direct role for each member of the team.  Over the course of the school year I have broken down her method. First she assembles a meeting and staff members are briefed on the agenda. As collaborative dialogue begins to take place, she will hear something she likes, interject and build on the idea and assign that responsibility to the person who initiated the comment.  I have learned tons from watching her style in action.

I once worked for an autocratic leader. I was a manager at a country club pool, so it could be stressful at times since members have high expectations. He was very clear about how the pool was to be run. It was nice to have those clear expectations. However, at times it was challenging because our input was not very open to change or ideas that weren't his own. Considering he hired me to be the expert in the aquatics part of his facility, this could be frustrating. I can appreciate some characteristics of autocratic leadership, however I believe it is still important to have an open mind.

I worked under a supervisor who was definitely an autocratic leader. Every day, she would make it clear that she was in charge period. Projects were expected to be completed as assigned and if you thought about changing anything you would be called out on the spot no matter who was around. Talk about being embarrassed. My supervisors’ leadership style caused so much division and separation that people were quitting one after another; they no longer felt valued or appreciated myself included. On a positive note, before everyone quit we all formed an alliance to work together and support each other.

I had a principal at a previous school who was a Laissez-Faire leader.  He was there simply  to draw a paycheck and made no secret of that fact.  He had been shuffled around between a few schools because of various indiscretions and wanted to keep his head low (to the point that he would cover for the mistakes of his staff in an unethical way). The school lacked direction and was stuck at stage 2 on the Tribal Leadership model.  There was no motivation to do well amongst the staff and the number one goal seemed to be left alone through the day so that the staff could head out to the bar afterward to complain about how terrible their lives were (including the principal).

I once worked for a Laissez-Faire leader. He hired me to pursue new product opportunities within a niche market. He was very hands off and did not provide any guidance at all about how I was doing or things I should consider. It was a very frustrating experience. On the other hand, he made sure that I had the resources I needed to complete the project.
