5.4 Conclusions

5.4.1 Leadership roles

• The classic 'scientific' view of the leader is as the central 'controller' – planning, monitoring and regulating.

• The more 'democratic' view sees the role as facilitator, or coordinator.

• The more 'educational' view sees it as that of adviser, teacher, source of expertise, etc.

• Adair identified three overlapping areas: achieving the task, building and maintaining the team, and developing individuals.
