Artistry SLQ: Study Findings

A multifaceted use of strategic leadership actions is strongly associated with self

reported effectiveness as well as effectiveness reported by followers. (Yasin , 2006, UĞurluoĞlu & Çelik, 2009)

University Deans who were able to use a wide array of leader actions were more successful than those who couldn't. (Yasin, 2006)

Transforming, Bartering and Bonding actions were associated with more cohesive culture in schools. (Urdegar, 2007; Reyes-Guerra, 2009)

School principals who were able to use all five leader actions were more successful in differing contexts than those who had a limited repertoire of actions. (Reyes-Guerra, 2009)

Hospital Manager’s Leader actions were influenced by complexity of context (UĞurluoĞlu & Çelik, 2009) – Dean’s actions not influenced by context. (Yasin, 2006)

SLQ appears free of gender bias; but influenced by education level, disciplines studied and tenure in position. (Reyes-Guerra, 2009) -

Strategic Leadership Questionnaire (SLQ) Findings

School Principals, College Deans, and Hospital Managers who were able to use all five actions were more effective than those who were not able to use all actions, (Reyes-Guerra, 2009; Yasin, 2006,

UĞurluoĞlu & Çelik, 2009) Mandated policies and programs were not

effectively implemented when leaders did not use management authority in tandem with the other 4 actions.Free choice policies and programs were

effectively implemented with Transforming, Bonding, Bartering, and Bridging actions.

Transforming, Bartering and Bonding actions were associated with more cohesive culture in schools. (Urdegar, 2007; Reyes-Guerra, 2009)

As the leader felt the complexity of the context increasing they used more Political and Transforming actions (UĞurluoĞlu & Çelİk, 2009)
