Leadership Theories and Styles that I Connect With ...

First of all, I didn't have a clue that there are so many theories and styles of leadership.  I used to think of leadership in a singular fashion, but I have seen the light.  I got a little confused with all of the leadership styles and theories at first because there are so many. 

After reading about the leadership theories and styles, I have come to the conclusion that I identify more with the contingency theory of leadership.  I believe that leadership roles and behaviors can and need to change in varying situations.  Furthermore, I identify with the servant leadership and quiet leader styles.  I enjoy helping others accomplish their goals and find it fulfilling.  Moreover, I am not a quiet person but related to the quiet leader style.  I will put others needs before mine if it will helps the great good of an organization or group.  

Most school is in need of contingency theories of leadership because of the nature of education and the demands put on teachers.  My school tends to be competitive and not supportive.  Using servant and quiet leadership styles will help my school collaborate and support one another on a regular basis.
