Abstract

© 2017, IGI Global. The words and actions of a leader determine the effectiveness of any organization. An abundance of research provides valuable insight into typical qualities possessed by those who are charged with moving a group in a common direction. Studies show general characteristics of effective leaders, such as common personality traits, communication skills, and dispositional strengths that separate the effective leader from those who are less effective. However, there are other critical elements that must be in place and that go beyond personality, frugalness, and the willingness to work long hours. These basic components are at work in every organization and hold the key as to how a multifaceted, diverse group of people can work toward a common goal. Mastering these domains will provide next-generation leaders with the necessary skills to solve problems in the constantly evolving environment we call "school."
