The Impact of New-Genre Leadership Style Training on Leadership Skills of School Leaders

Abstract

    This research determined the impact of New-Genre leadership style training on leadership skills of school leaders working in public and private schools. The rational of this training was developed on the basis of related literature and training need analysis. A short-course was developed focusing the deficient areas and offered to 120 participants, randomly sampled to participate in this training. With addition of sub-grouping and a follow-up study, one-group pre-test post-test design was adapted in this quasi-experimental research using quantitative methods. For statistical analysis, mean, standard deviation, percentages and paired sample t-test were applied. According to findings, the New-Genre Leadership Style Training has enhanced the leadership skills of school leaders. The five representative styles: Transformational, Transactional, Authentic, Leader-member Exchange and Global were found highly applicable and effective in educational leadership development. Such professional development courses have been endorsed by the participants for promoting quality education through quality leadership in Pakistan.
