Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine what leadership paradigms key educational stakeholders in Northwest Florida had regarding school district superintendents. Survey instruments were administered to 140 individuals with 28 interviews conducted in Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton Counties. Respondents rated the amount of transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership superintendents should employ as well as the amount of collaboration which they should use in the decision-making process. Results revealed a high level of homogeneity in leadership style preferences. All respondents reported a preference for a transformational leadership and collaborative decision making. Educators reported a preference for even greater amounts of transformational leadership and more participation of school district personnel in the decision-making process.
