Leadership is a topic that is often researched. Most research surrounds the management's leadership and how it affects the environment and people around them in an academic institution or the instructional leadership of instructors and how it affects students. There is little to no research done on students' leadership styles and how these various leadership styles affect their academic performance. The importance of this study surrounds the need to understand students to better cater to them. By understanding students' leadership styles and their effects on academic performance, instructors can better cater to the needs of these students to prepare them for the rest of their educational journey. This study will be done by conducted by running an ANOVA test. Data would be collected through a questionnaire that is entirely voluntary for students to part-take in, and the target audience would be current residential undergraduate students from any course and program offered by the school of education within a faith-based institution and have completed ENGL 101 - Composition and Rhetoric. Bivariate regression analysis would then be used to establish the strength of the relationship between the leadership styles of students and their academic performance. The results of the study were that there was no statistical difference in academic performance among the transformational leadership style, the transactional leadership style, and the passive-avoidant leadership style among students. Future research should be done in the areas of multiple faith-based institutions with an increased population and testing across the areas of age, gender, and ethnicity.

Recognizing the importance of good leadership to the achievement of educational excellence, the second edition of this handbook synthesizes a large body of school leadership literature and explores the subject from three perspectives: the person, the structure, and the skills. Part I examines characteristics of today's educational leaders; effective leadership styles and qualities; administrator training, hiring, and induction methods; and the scarcity of female and black school leaders. Part II looks at the organizational supports underlying school leadership. This section examines the balance of authority between the central office and the school site, the team approach to management, the decision-making context, and the components of school climate. Part III highlights leadership abilities needed by today's school administrators. Besides knowing how to manage the school's instructional program and staff, administrators must be able to communicate in today's more open, sharing organization; build coalitions of community groups; make meetings more productive; and manage time, stress, and conflict more effectively. Concerned about integrating theory with practice, the book offers many practical suggestions for using the information presented. Accompanying each chapter are extensive bibliographical references that appear at the end of the volume. (MLH)
