GOOD COMMUNICATION FOR A GOOD LEADERSHIP

BRYAN N. CALMA

Leadership is an ability to lead valuable teachers in order to achieve specific goals for their learners. Dialogue is the oxygen of healthy relationships. This is a managerial relationship between the school head and his or her teachers based on an effective combination of different sources of power for the specific situation. As a rule leadership is aimed at encouraging teachers to achieve common goals.

School head should listen to their teachers, might as well all teachers should listen to their learners. Mostly in all cases, the school head possesses social, psychological and emotional support in the community or in groups of people who follow him or her.

There is formal and informal administration. In the first case the subordinates are influenced from the certain position. The process of influencing people through personal abilities, skills and other resources is called informal leadership. It is believed that the ideal administration combines two bases of power: personal and organizational.

The school head aims at achieving organizational effectiveness. On the one hand, administration is considered to be a particular set of qualities attributed to those who successfully influence the others. On the other hand, this is a process of no-force achieving goals by certain groups or organizations.

Since ancient times the concept of effective administration was traditionally defined on the basis of administrator’s qualities or samples of his or her behavior.

School head differs depending upon the scope by which a particular individual seeks to attain a goal or objective that has been set forth. Each administration functions successfully because of its leadership. It is important for heads to have adequate leadership. There are many different types of administrative styles that various display and exhibit. Typically, when focusing on administration and the different types, the two that are noteworthy are task-oriented leadership and relationship-oriented leadership. As with all administrative models, each has its pros and cons and successes and failures.

It is fundamental that as a school head one should recognize that relationships with teachers emerged again and again as a central aspect of young people’s resilience- building relational networks.
