LEADERSHIP IN SCHOOL SYSTEM: FOCUS ON E. O. NWADIALOR'S LEADERSHIP STYLE
No doubt, the issue of leadership has been with us right from birth, within our families and communities. Fathers, mothers and elders are the traditional leaders who socialize the young ones into adulthood. These leaders inform the young ones what is expected of them and their reward for performing appropriately, as well as punishment, as the case may be. Invariably, leadership is as old as life, therefore, not peculiar to school alone, but in businesses, offices, hospitals, army, church, mosque, in fact, anywhere people gather for their social or work, leadership function also emerges. It is so because there must be someone to guide, control and leads the group. Ojo and Olaniyan (2008) explained that “the art of leadership is as old as age itself, and covers all aspects of life may it be simple one unit or extended family, social and religious organization, business, small or large industrial firms and politics''. Oke (2008) also states that “leadership is as old as life, historically from the early-times of life, as far back as the biblical days ofAdam and Moses, leadership was in existence''.
