Essential Behavioral Qualities for Effective Leadership in Schools for Students Who Are Visually Impaired: A National Study.

Oyinlade, A. Olu; Gellhaus, Marva; Darboe, Kebba

Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v97 n7 p389-402 Jul 2003

This study examined the perceived essential behavioral leadership qualities necessary for effective leadership by principals and superintendents in schools for students with visual impairments. Findings of a survey of administrators at 25 schools in 25 states suggest that people-oriented leadership qualities are perceived to be better suited for effective leadership than are job-centered qualities in these schools.
