Leadership Style and Effectiveness Catherine Iwuanyanwu-Biemkpa

Leadership Style and Effectiveness is a powerful attempt to investigate the relationship between the congruency of perceived principal leadership style based on the perceptions of teachers and leadership effectiveness. This book addressed the problem of continuous underperformance of schools despite frequent changes of school leadership. It is an outcome of "a mental itch" which the author felt the need to scratch. This book has systematically highlighted the "transformational" as a motivational leadership style that is more effective in raising followers or subordinates to higher levels of motivation, making changes, and shaping the future. Leaders in schools and other organizations could use this information in planning for improvement and increased effectiveness.
