The Impact of Leadership Style on Creating Community in Public and Private Schools.

Madsen, Jean; Hipp, Kristine A.

International Journal of Educational Reform, v8 n3 p260-73 Jul 1999

Public school decentralization has increased involvement of multiple constituencies in school governance. This study of a private school and a public school illustrates the complexities of leading teachers in the decision-making process. Both principals were transformational leaders, but teachers were not empowered enough to make changes. (34 references) (MLH)
