The development of the western leadership theories is currently toward ¡§Transformational Leadership.¡¨ However, owing to the culture differences, the results testified in the theory of ¡§Transformational Leadership¡¨ are not completely suitable for Chinese society. Thus, domestic scholars develop the theory of ¡§Paternalistic Leadership¡¨ according to tradition of Chinese culture and family system. In addition, the coordinate culture of military units focuses on rank submission, guide, and help. Although the difference of authority between commanders and subordinates is large, the leaders still have to need the nurture of ¡§Convincing People by Good¡¨ which is exactly the ideal of ¡§Paternalistic Leadership¡¨; however, the formations of the earth village concepts and diversified thoughts of the e-age have forced military leaders to face the issue how to adapt themselves to improve leadership efficiency. Therefore, related research is required. The method of two standardized phases is applied to this research. For the first phase, the use of individual interview is for qualitative analysis, and then that of questionnaires is for quantitative analysis. Conclusions of this research show as follows: 1. ¡§Paternalistic Leadership¡¨ style is more appropriate for military units. ¡§Authoritarian Leadership¡¨ only has negative influence. 2. The core of ¡§Paternalistic Leadership¡¨ is ¡§Lead People by Good.¡¨ Meanwhile, ¡§Unselfish Model¡¨ is the key to ¡§Lead People by Good.¡¨ 3. As the diverse perspectives between leaders and subordinates, they have different feeling for ¡§Alternating Weakness with Severity.¡¨ 4. The situation of depreciating subordinates¡¦ contribution by leaders of military units is not found. Finally, the following suggestions have been made to effectively enhance leadership efficiency of military members: 1. Just, equitable, and open conduct. 2. The attitude of real consideration and respect. 3. Effective communication and identification acquisition. 4. Lifetime learning and thorough self-examination.

The purpose of this study is to explore pedagogic leadership from a systems thinking perspective. The aim is to develop an understanding that pedagogic leadership, from a systems thinking perspective, plays an integral role in improving the approach in teaching and learning and hence in students’ outcomes. Semi-structured interviews were used as a tool to solicit detailed information about the presence of pedagogic leadership from a systems thinking perspective in schools. This study was undertaken in three selected high schools in the South Durban region, KwaZulu-Natal. The respondents were the principals of three schools and, focus groups of grade 12 teachers and students. The research paradigm was based on the interpretative approach enquiry. Questions that were answered by this study were: • What are the key dimensions of leadership in learning and teaching? • How would these dimensions be evident in a school? • How can these dimensions be initiated, nurtured and developed? Findings revealed that there is: an absence of shared vision and sense of mission about students learning; a lack of commitment to mission realisation by staff and students; teachers are not empowered to manage the National Curriculum Statement (NCS); moral values are not instilled; teachers do not understand how students learn; and teachers are overburdened by administrative work which impacts negatively on their teaching. It is concluded that pedagogic leadership, from a systems thinking perspective, does not exist in the selected schools where the study was conducted. Although there is absence of shared vision, some schools are very active and perform well. The department of education is urgently required to address these issues as they form the basis of effective teaching and learning to improve students’ outcomes. / Thesis (M.Com.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville, 2009.
