Trait Theory
Leadership trait theory focuses on the leader’s values and beliefs; personality; need for
achievement or acceptance; orientation to power; gender; confidence; and mental, physical,
and emotional attributes. Early leadership trait theory assumed that people were born with
specific traits and that some traits aligned with strong leadership. People with the “right”
traits would become the best leaders. But how do you identify the common traits of good
leaders? That was one of the many questions surrounding the study of leadership—
questions that led to further research.
From about 1930 until 1950, research methods for studying social and psychological
issues were not as sophisticated as they are today. When psychologists tried to replicate
the studies, for example, they were not always successful. Researchers knew their inquiries
were important because they seemed to point to the correlations between traits and leaders.
But the inability to obtain the same results when repeating the studies raised further
questions. Why couldn’t researchers scientifically replicate these results?
Some researchers pointed to the inherent difficulty in measuring a human personality
trait. How do you effectively and consistently measure confidence or loyalty, for example?
Still further questions arose about the impact of the particular situation or the followers’
attitudes on the leader’s behavior and performance. Research into these and other issues
led to the birth of additional leadership theories in the 1950s and 1960s. One key idea
that led to new thinking about leadership was behavioral theory.

A great deal of a teacher's planning involves not only what to teach, but how to teach it. The same principle holds true for effective communication methods with parents, other teachers, students, and administrators. However, this part is difficult to remember when a teacher suddenly finds him/herself in particularly challenging and/or difficult circumstances.

The good news for all teachers is that effective communication methods can be taught to a seasoned and new teacher alike, and they can hopefully result in positive relationships to develop between students and teachers, administrators, parents and even between the learners themselves.

Before Communication Measures
Mistakes are not always mistakes. Before judging or jumping to self-defend yourself, gather the facts about the specific classroom situation. This might mean gathering the student's first and second semester's grades and all the criteria that went into their calculation. You might need to refresh yourself and gather some notes you took about that particular student's performance in class during several sessions.

Have this information at the meeting or while you are on the phone. Not only does it reinforce the validity of your information, it can be helpful for those tricky spots where you suddenly feel you are loosing objectivity.

Methods of Communications
Be sympathetic. Restate the problem using your own words. One way to start is to say: "If I understand you correctly, you ..." This gives you time to think of your next steps while thinking of practical solutions. This also has an effect of calming the waters for both adults and children.
Offer your help instead of showing any anger, dissatisfaction or contempt.
Be organized. Discuss follow-up communicative measures in order to monitor a specific ongoing problem. Such alternatives can include: an email, a follow-up note, a fax or a monthly school visit.
Communicative techniques should also be at the heart of your approach and should carry over into the classroom. Communicative interaction encourages cooperative relationships, promotes the children's security, allows them to share ideas and opinions and makes them feel that they are doing something useful. As part of this approach, errors are seen as natural to the learning process and are corrected only when studying grammar
