<div dir="ltr"> When an administrator pushes his/her employees to achieve a set goal it is important that the administrator has supportive managerial attributes and has positive leadership so that the employees with respect and honor the motivation. An administrator should work alongside his/her employees to communicate their achievements and goals. When administrators construct a school setting that is goal oriented and on task the employees will be more motivated than if the administrator allowed less structure and freedom. A positive environment set forth by administration sets a precedent that will trickle down to the staff to maintain the culture at a high level. Dakota TaylorEDAD 6010- Assignment 1 A principal will be well-served to address both managerial and leadership aspects of administration because it will allow him/her to sustain a healthy working environment. On one hand, an administrator must manage the school system and push, tell, and control his/her employees to strive toward reaching goals set by the state government and district: while on the other hand the principal must apply leadership qualities like collaboration and team work to be supportive for their employees across the board. A principal must juggle the management aspect of a school by pushing his/her staff to do their jobs while simultaneously being a respected leader that can collaborate and support their employees toward accomplishing these same goals.Stakeholders often find control and structure as a positive aspect of an effective manager. If an administrator has proper control over how the staff performs and how the students act, then it can keep the school running smoothly and in a structured way. If the school and school system is running in a systematic way, then it can motivate the stakeholders to stay focused and on task. Stakeholders find that managers, who do not address the leadership aspects of their job, can create a negative work place. The missing aspects of a leader such as: supportiveness, sociability, and open-mindedness are positive aspects of effective administrators and if an administrator fails to incorporate these then it could lead to a negative response from their stakeholders. Being open-minded and socially approachable are critical aspects for an administrator. Successful and respected principals support their staff, students, and community in all facets of school and life. </div>
