Journal #2: Leadership Styles

After reviewing "Leadership Styles"(Hoyle, 2006), it became clear that there are four

different types of leadership. According to Hoyle (2006), leadership can be authoritarian,

participatory, transactional, or transformational. When working with young children, all

leadership styles adhere to developmentally appropriate methods and guidelines. Therefore,

teachers must have a firm grasp of the various leadership styles and be able to adjust and adapt

their approaches based on what they learn about the students in their care.

An authoritarian leadership style is when the teacher or administrator is in charge of

everything that happens in the classroom (Hoyle, 2006). This approach is more direct, enforcing

explicit norms and boundaries in the classroom. Controlling the environment and pupils is a

significant focus of this approach.

A participatory leader continuously solicits input from their team before making

decisions. Instead of making all the decisions, the teacher will solicit input from the students,

which distinguishes this approach from authoritarian methods (Hoyle, 2006). This style of

leadership is more akin to that of a coworker. That does not mean that the teacher does not have a

say, but rather that they want to hear from everyone before making a final choice.

In the context of transactional leadership, individuals place a greater emphasis on their

responsibilities as managers, organizers, and performers within teams. They employ rewards and

punishments to motivate students in this type of leadership. For example, every day that the

instructor is in the classroom and does not phone in an absentee, they receive an end-of-year

bonus (Hoyle, 2006). When I picture this scenario in a classroom, I picture teachers using

behavior charts to motivate their students to do their best.
