Effective teacher leadership promotes not only students' motivation to learn, but also the productivity and development of educational institutions. My purpose in this study was to develop the Teacher Leadership Style Scale (TLSS) to extend the framework of the charismatic, ideological, and pragmatic (CIP) model of outstanding leadership. Participants were 264 Chinese college students in Macau. Data collection took place midway through the school year, and respondents took approximately 10 minutes to complete the questionnaire. The 29-item TLSS demonstrated high internal consistency (> .80) and a robust 3-dimensional factor solution. Factor loading results showed that the instrument converged well with measures for 3 possible CIP-based teacher leadership styles. Overall, my results showed that the TLSS is suitable for assessing stable teacher leadership styles based on the perceptions of college students, and that it aligns with theoretical expectations.

The leadership styles of the Prophet consist of Shiddiq, Amanah, Tabligh, and Fathanah, which can be adopted as teacher leadership styles. Personal branding in Islamic perspective is a character that can be imaged by someone so that other people who see it can characterize that person, while leadership in a teacher's personal branding can be seen from the akhlaq possessed by the teacher in managing the class so that the learning process teaches work effectively. This chapter explains the definition of leadership and the leadership style of teachers in the classroom, the leadership style of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, the definition of personal branding, and how teachers can implement the type of leadership of the Prophet in leading classes that will be used as role models for their students through their personal branding assessment. It aims at how a teacher can make a personal branding who will be a role model and idolized by students in the class so that he can become a leader according to the perspective of the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad.

The purpose of this study was to examine perceptions of leadership styles in model youth football coaches. Six award-winning youth football coaches participated, and each was interviewed twice. Within a qualitative descriptive framework, deductive analysis was completed to identify the coaches’ leadership styles, using the charismatic, ideological, and pragmatic model of outstanding leadership. Whereas pragmatic leadership behaviors were most frequently identified, all coaches appeared to have mixed leadership styles. Inductive analysis was then used to examine factors that influenced the coaches’ leadership development. Identified themes were role models, networks of coaches, experience and reflection, and formal, nonformal, and informal learning. These were consistent across all the coaches, regardless of leadership style. This study therefore provides new insights into the perceived use of pragmatic behaviors in mixed leadership styles in model youth sport coaches and indicates that similar factors contributed to their leadership development.
