How would you describe your leadership style?

“Self improvement technique, taking leads by setting example”

According to me, a leader is one who should focus on the overall development of the organizational principles and missions in coordination with a team. For this purpose, as a leader of the institution, I first focus on enhancing and improving my abilities and knowledge, and try to set an example of proficiency for my subordinates. I always try to channelize the potential of the staff members for the best of the institution by creating a vision and strategic goals for achieving academic excellence. Further, I try to put in the best of my efforts to accomplish these goals with adequate supervision and guidance of the faculty members by delegating duties per their forte.
