Leadership issues have been profoundly describes nowadays because it always be one of the subject of discussion among the stakeholder. They feel difficult on pertaining leadership style.  It is an endless debated topic whereby a number of theories have been developed to describe leadership in the organizations (Bennis & Namus, 1985).

Most of the research makes research about school principal and least research about teacher also being a leader in a classroom. However, recent research has already concern with the leadership of people who have other roles in school organizations such as teachers. An examination on various individuals leadership style should be conducted to give clear overview of school leadership as whole.  (Cheng , 1994b; Ogawa & Bossert 1995; Pounder Ogawa & Adams, 1998; Deal & Peterson, 1999, Harris & Mujis, 2003, Pashiardis, 2004).

However second issues are more complex which due to opposite finding concerning effect leadership on student achievements conducted by several scholars. Some research stated that there no relationship between leadership style and student achievements. The issues are some of students do not complete their task or homework that has been given and they like to delay their work. So as a leader in a class, teacher has to use wise approach to make sure can influence their students. It can give big impact if the student do not to their work so the achievement of the school will be low and not achieve the mission and vision of the company. With today focus, it has become more important to find the most effective and efficient to manage in school.

Due to No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act have been implement on 2001 in America. It shows that how’s important education. At the core of the NCLB Act were a number measure designed to drive broad gains in student achievements and to hold states and school more accountable for student progress (U.S Department of Education, 2001). There a lot of element in NCLB for example teachers’ qualifications. By the end 2005-2006 school years, every teacher in core content area working in a public had to be highly qualified in each subject they taught. They also play role model as leader in that class. Good teachers will increase student achievement.

Sergiovanni and Starrat (1993) however agreed that no one best style of leadership could be identified but the effectiveness can be determined. Thus, it is unique leadership to a particular person to another. Leadership skills can be adopted by leaders from experience, training and formal education.
