Leadership Style - Dan Lukiv - Bog

First Edition: Published as part of For Teachers Only, by ETONSA (The English Teachers' Network of South Africa), 2001. Revised Edition: LukivPress (Canada), 2022. "Leadership Style" appeared in two issues of The Journal of Secondary Alternate Education (2003 [Spring], 2013 [February]). An excerpt When snags, or problems, surface, a Great Leader looks for symptoms. He or she encourages, even empowers, staff members to problem solve at the causal level, and to exercise their own judgement and creativity. The community spirit of teamwork this leader inspires turns problems into "our" problems and solutions into "our" solutions. Problems are evaluated down at the grassroots, down at "our" grassroots.
