Description
Summary:The following study based on the leadership styles theory analyses the types of leaders that bring advantage to a Romanian educational organization. To evaluate these benefits, 82 employees from a private educational organization were involved: 21 employees having a leader status and 61 non-leaders. They answered two questionnaires with some similar points to identify to what extent were there benefits brought by the leadership system implemented in the organization. The study revealed that the employees believed the leadership system was necessary to the organization. A proactive leader was defined by a well-balanced distinction, identifiable by every member of their team. Some of the skills that define this distinction are the following: professionalism, strategic thinking, and empathy. The study results show that a leadership system implemented in an educational organization leads to the improvement of its working areas due to its transparency and precision through which the organization is coordinated. An organization that has the purpose of employees' continuous development is going to be an effective organization. Such an organization chooses to follow a democratic type of leadership, through which the employees play a role in the decision process, feel valued, and take part in its development.
