to understand which leadership style that can make student achievement. Based on the quotes above, leader are
important in one organization. Leader will influence or motivates their

The wings of effective leadership nowadays are Great nation like United States
of America, Britain and France (Weihrich, et al, 2008). According to Kouzes and Posner (1987) numerous studies on
leadership produce approximately 350 definitions of the term. Principal is a
leader and a position that have been given but some individual in that position
does not mean that the leader able to gain influence over those they charged and
leading. A success of one institutions can be measured by its administration
and achievements and the leadership style (Subramaniam, 2011)
Establish relationship between leader
and followers are important in one organization. For example principal with
their teachers in school. Some of the teachers do not know what leadership
styles are all about is. They are lack information about leadership style. According
to Changemind Article. There are many approaches of
leadership style based on theories and assumption. The approaches such as
transformational, transactional, charismatic, situational and participative

values and preferences. Leaders are those who can adapt their leader behavior

Generally, all teachers in all
schools, they must have spirit and motivation to do their job without stress or
delay. We know that teacher in all school have many responsibilities in their
carrier but do not mean that they can give excuse do not their work. Teachers is
considered as school leaders in school, both primary and secondary but teachers
have great influence on students as they have larger capacity in teaching,
communicate and monitor students in the classroom setting. When a school cannot
reach objectives of the organisations because school principal leadership
problem (O’Driscoll & Beehr, 1994). Nevertheless, very least studies research
involve teacher as a leader.
Based on a research conducted by
Marzano, Waters, and McNulty (2005), they found that there has been far less
research done on school leadership than one would assume would be the case in
today’s society. Since the topic about leadership style, researcher wants to
use transformational and transactional leadership style to know whether this
leadership style can gives impact on student achievement.
