A principal would benefit from addressing both the managerial and leadership aspects of administration, because although the two differ, an effective administrator would incorporate both aspects. People who follow leaders typically believe in the leader, and are loyal. People who follow a manager typically do so out of obligation, just as the manger manages out of obligation. Managers often pass work off to their subordinates, and insure the work is completed. Both leadership and managerial aspects would benefit a principal, in that acting as a leader could inspire and motivate their followers, while simultaneously acting as a manager- insuring everyone follows through on their tasks. The two roles go hand in hand in being well received administrator. Stakeholders often view effective managers positively when they are good communicators, and are able to delegate tasks. Effective managers are focused on priorities, but are also likeable to their subordinates. Stakeholders positively view a manager that is personable, but task oriented enough to get things done. Although more task oriented than a leader, effective managers seem to display many characteristics of a leader. If a manager fails to take on the aspects of a leader, they are negatively viewed as ridged or controlling. When it comes to decision making, if a manager lacks charisma or personability there would be resistance from their subordinates, because they do not feel inspired to follow. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
