In this style of leadership there are no fixed styles.  The leadership style is situational.  The job of an effective leader is to match the leadership style with the individual’s or group’s developmental level. The challenge of the situational leadership theory is to correctly identify this developmental level. Once accomplished, the leader matches the leadership style with the corresponding developmental level.

Leaders must be able to move from one leadership style to another to meet the changing needs of a school. I am persistent when it comes to flexibility.  In my opinion, you must be flexible when it comes to administration. If your staff does not feel that from you, there will be resistance. Thus far, my colleagues know that I am very flexible and make the best out of any change.

It is so advantageous to have a good rapport with your staff. In any leadership position that I have been in, this is what I do first. I build that lasting relationship as to gain respect and make sure that my team knows that I will always have their backs.

I am a very supportive leader however, I feel it is more common sense that a group should know how to work together. So instead of emphasizes listening, sustaining, encouraging teamwork, seeking group input, and providing recognition, I just assume it is happening.

Again, I am very supportive of my colleagues, however sometimes I forget that teachers who have not taught as long as I, are not as familiar with some of the things that I am. Adversely, some teachers who have taught for a very long time also may not be as refreshed as I am with certain technological aspects.

Instead of assuming, I will give biweekly surveys to my team to see what they need from me. I will encourage group input, and always make sure they have a voice on any team decision. I will also try and implement "team accolades" once a month during team meetings.

I will use a mentor/buddy system for all of my colleagues that are new or "older" to help enhance their learning. I will personally implement a check-in system with the new teachers to assure they are not in the dark about any thing in regards to technology, field trips, Schoology, or anything else regarding school.
