There is a considerable amount of literature on leadership, particularly as it relates to organizations, government, and the military. However, educators and psychologists know considerably less about early precursors of leadership, how leadership develops in youth, possible gender differences, and the relationship of leadership, intelligence and creativity. A global consensus exists that leaders are needed and that we shouldn't delay the early development of leadership skills. The authors propose a model to enhance creative leadership and introduce a teacher-completed rating scale, the Gifted Rating Scales to help accomplish this. As demonstrated, there are possibilities to detect early creative and intellectual giftedness among children and youngsters in the classrooms and expectations to move from a basic level of competence to reach an elite or expert level in any field, facilitating the emergence of leadership.

Elementary School Administrators

This study investigated the transformational leadership skills and leadership styles of the public elementary school administrators in Bokod District, Bokod, Benguet. Data gathered were summarized, analyzed and cross-tabulated. Descriptive statistics like weighted mean, percentages and ranks were computed from test results. Responses from the respondents were also classified according to the number of years as an administrator and the kind of designation whether a) Principal, b) Head Teacher, c) Teacher-in-Charge. Analysis for transformational leadership survey measured leadership skills on six factors: Charisma, Social, Vision, Transactional, Delegation, and Execution while analysis for the leadership style survey determined the leadership styles of the respondents whether they are authoritarian, democratic or laissez-faire. The public elementary school administrators of Bokod District have generally varied transformational leadership skills and leadership styles. The leadership styles practiced by the respondents regardless of the number of years as administrators and the kind of designations are Democratic followed by Laissez-faire and last, Authoritarian style of leadership. It is recommended that Charisma as transformational leadership skill be revisited and be strengthened by the school administrators, and the interplay of the different leadership styles is paramount in school management. Hence, the principals, head teachers and teachers-in-charge need to be flexible in their management at all times.

This article focuses on two major steps by which the Management Profile has been refined as a tool for assessing the leadership and management skills that school administrators display on the job. The first step, the identification of criteria for standards of principal performance, was accomplished by the Texas A&M University Principals’ Center at the request of the NASSP Commission on Standards for the Principalship. The second step, also performed by the TAMU Principals’ Center, was the standardization of decision rules for assessing performance of the Management Profile and the completion of the initial edition of an assessor's manual.

Educational Delivery

Collaboration appears to be an increasingly important component in the design and delivery of school and community-based services. However, few data are available to describe the leadership skills of school administrators of collaborative-based programs serving students with and without disabilities. The purpose of this study was to describe the self-perceived competence of secondary school principals to function as leaders in collaborative-based systems and to identify factors contributing to their leadership skills. A national sample of secondary school principals was asked to rate their level of competence to serve as leaders of collaborative-based programs. The results indicated that principals view their leadership skills for guiding collaborative-based programs to be within the average range. The three significant predictors of secondary school principals' self-perceived competence in collaboration were number of clock hours of non-credit-generating professional development activities, academic degrees, and number of years teaching in general education. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Administrator Preparation Programs

The renewal or reform of public schools and their communities calls for a moral democratic concept of leadership, which includes the principles and practices of caring, trust, social justice and collaborative inquiry. In contrast to the bureaucratic concept of leadership that has prevailed in public schools and placed a few people in leadership roles, a democratic concept involves everyone and requires the development of leadership skills in teachers, school administrators, students, parents and neighborhood residents. Such a concept can best be served by a merger of teacher and administrator preparation programs, so that future teachers may develop as leaders as well as followers, and future administrators may develop as followers as well as leaders. In such a merger, there must be community and school forums in which preservice teachers and administrators may practice for their future roles and extend the democratic concept of leadership to students, parents, and neighborhood residents. Efforts of one eight-year school and community change initiative, which is now in its sixth year, indicate the type of forum that might effectively serve this need.
