LEADERSHIP IN EDUCATION1
Introduction
The leadership qualities that are demonstrated by the individuals is observed in the form
of the abilities and skills that are presented through the overall actions of the concerned
individual. The following paper attempts a discussion on the various issues that are faced by the
organization in terms of the leadership that is practiced by the organizational leaders.
Part I
Leadership refers to the qualities that are demonstrated by the concerned person in the
matters that are related to the guidance and the leading of the various organizations, teams or
other individuals. The leadership qualities are often observed to be present within the concerned
person who have been aiming to provide guidance to the concerned organizations, teams or other
individuals. The leadership qualities that are presented within the concerned individual is
generally highlighted through the behaviors of the given person.
The functional leadership model as have been suggested by Kouzes and Posner highlights
the theoretical aspects that are presented within the behaviors of the leaders. The model further
helps in the proper analysis of the contribution of the leaders to the maintenance of the
effectiveness of concerned unit of business or the entire business organization. The experts in
terms of the leadership behaviors state that the leaders who have been present in the business
organizations all over the world tend to demonstrate five key practices in the leadership that they
tend to provide to the concerned individuals. Masuda and Kostopoulos (2016) state that the five
key practices include the modelling of the ways, inspiration of the shared vision, challenging the
processes that are being followed, enabling the other members to participate or initiate actions

and providing encouragement to the concerned individuals to utilize their hearts and minds in
dealing with the situations that are presented to them.
The concepts of leadership and management are known to be different from each other.
The concept of the leadership helps in the setting of the novel direction as well as the vision for
the group of individuals to follow. The leaders of the concerned organization are known to be the
people who acquire the position of being the spearhead that highlights the ways in which the set
goals might be achieved (Berman & Prasojo, 2018). One of the most highlighted examples in
terms of the implementation of the proper leadership within the given business organizations
refer to the transformational leadership style that had been demonstrated by Howard Schultz, the
executive chairman of Starbucks. The transformational leadership as had been demonstrated by
Howard Schultz had motivated the employees of the organization in the proper achievement of
the goals that had been set by the leader. The globally acclaimed coffee chain would not have
attained the present levels of success had it not been for the leadership of Howard Schultz. The
leadership that was provided by Schultz helped the organization in the achievement of the
required success levels in terms of the overall organizational performance of Starbucks in the
international markets. This in turn led to the increase in the competitive advantage of the
concerned company in discussion.
On the other hand, the managers of the organization are generally observed to have been
controlling as well as directing the concerned employees or individuals in the completing the
task at hand in the proper ways that have been highlighted by the higher authorities that are
present within the given organizational setting. The managers of the organization are entrusted
with the duty of managing the various activities that are undertaken by the organizational
workforce as per the various instructions that have been highlighted by the organizational

authorities. The managers who have been appointed within the organization tend to ensure the
fact that the organizational workforce have been abiding by the rules and the regulations that
have been set by the concerned leaders of the organization (Guarana & Hernandez, 2015). The
managers of the business organization are often observed to have been dealing with the
management of the employees within the organization. However, the successful business owner
is advised to implement the qualities of the leaders and the managers in order to get the teams
within the organization. This helps in the development of the vision of the success that have been
set by the organization.
The other leadership models that are highly practices in the business organization refers
to the transformational leadership style that is maintained by the organizational leaders. The
transformational leadership as is maintained within the organization refers to the leadership style
wherein the concerned leaders make attempts at providing the concerned employees with the
proper amount of encouragement, inspiration as well as motivation for the proper innovation and
the creativity in bringing about the necessary changes that are required within the organization.
These changes that are implemented within the organization assist in the growth as well as the
shaping of the conditions wherein the company might be able to deal with success (Farh & Chen,
2018). The transformational leadership style can be recognized with the presence of four major
elements that have been underlying the system. These elements include the idealized influence
on the part of the leaders, the ability of the concerned leaders to motivate and instill the proper
amount of the confidence within the given organizational workforce, the implementation and the
demonstration of the creativity as well as intellectual stimulation by the leader and the ability of
the leader to demonstrate the required amount of the consideration for the individuals who have
been following the steps that have been set by the concerned leader (Santos, Caetano & Tavares,
