After reading Greens, The Art of Leadership, and analyzing all of the different styles of leadership I came to the conclusion that my leadership style is democratic and distributive. I'd like to think that I wold be able to adapt to any situation and switch styles when needed (situational leadership) but at my core I would consider myself distributive. Going on my sixth year of teaching and my 4th year implementing the Professional Learning Community process, I noticed that I would be comfortable distributing and sharing the instructional responsibilities with the entire staff. I believe in empowering people to serve and make decisions that will greatly and positively affect their students. Teachers are in the trenches and understand their students more than leadership and there has to be a great level of trust in that process. However, the process starts with me. My expectations, beliefs and purpose needs to be clear to ensure everyone is on board. All stakeholders must go to work with the “belief that, collectively, they have the capacity to produce desired results”. (Green,R.L, p.65)
