Dr . Joyce Wacuka Kanyiri

Abstract :

leadership today and tomorrow for educational institutions. Leadership has been and continues to be a topic of considerable interest in the management of educational institutions. While there is universal definition of leadership, there is agreement of the fact that leadership involves an influencing process between leaders and followers to ensure achievement of organizational goals (Lotechem, 2001). There is probably no topic more important to business success today than leadership. The concept of leadership continues to evolve as the needs of organizations change. Among all the ideas and writings about leadership, three aspects stand out: people, influence, and goals. In reviewing the literature it is apparent that many different types of leadership have been identified. In this paper, I iefly summarize 14 different strains of leadership which have been identified; the shelves are so crammed that this is not an exhaustive list, but rather one that is representative of the literature. I then suggest that to adopt any one of these forms is, in itself, not a means to achieve success as a principal. Rather, it is necessary for the administrator to select from a variety of leadership styles as the situation permits
