Abstract

The present article presents a theoretical approach on the various leadership styles used in educational formal institutions and its influence on the academical success and scholar achievement of pupil as its outcome. Educational challenges often include low achievement, political conflict, inexperienced teachers, low expectations, and lack of instructional coherence. In order to achieve coherence, formal educational institutions try to adopt different leading styles, both at institutional level and at the level of the classrooms. This is an important aspect, because at the institutional level there is the necessity of decision making, and at the level of the classroom there is the instructional guide choice. Leaders nowadays, invest large amounts of time, effort, and resources in changing the culture of their institutions and the general classroom climate and culture, in order to positively influence scholar achievement and academic success. The present theoretical approach on the theme, presents some practical ideas that can be used by formal institutions in order to get to the desired results.
