Transactional leadership
The transactional leader, a concept introduced by Max Weber in 1947 and then
reiterated by Bernard Bass in 1981, views management as a sequence of transactions
where the actions of subordinates result in either a reward or a punishment.
passive management by exception
monitor the employee's performance closely and intervene only when an employee is
not meeting the expectations, often resulting in a punishment.
active management by exception
monitor employee performance closely, watch for slight deviations and quickly intervene
to take corrective action to prevent further mistakes.
Transformational leader
creates enthusiasm and revitalizes organizations
idealized influence
that the leader can walk the walk and talk the talk. Essentially, the transformational
leader serves as a role model to followers by living by the same principles that he or she
expects of their followers.
charismatic leader
the ability to arouse a sense of excitement, motivation and assurance in followers.
individualized consideration.
mentoring employees one-on-one, delegating difficult tasks to deserving people and
maintaining a high level of communication with followers.

encouraging creativity and innovation when formulating potential solutions to
organizational problems.
Framing
, used by the transformational leader to provide followers with a game plan in highly-
measureable terms for how they will accomplish their tasks, which will aid in the
achievement of some organizational goal.
Servant leaders
help others first and build relationships with teachers, parents, and students. A servant
leader cares less about the idea of being in charge. Instead, the servant leader focuses
on student learning and other needs and serves for the good of each person, not just
the educational institution.
Distributed leaders
share responsibilities with stakeholders instead of only with those in specific leadership
roles

concerned with business as usual. Mrs. Trade is focused on keeping her troubled
school running. She uses motivational techniques such as disciplinary actions and
incentives to motivate teachers and students to perform at their best. Her approach is, ''I
give you something, and you do something for me in return.'' Transactional leadership is
best when you only need to concern yourself with what is happening now due to
environmental factors, and you cannot worry about what the future holds.
Educational leader
you will serve as a leader in an administrative setting to guide and influence to other
educators.
