Directive Leadership Skills and Visionary Leadership Skills: Impact of In-Service Training Among Educational Managers of Punjab

    The current quantitative study aimed to determine the impact of Quaid-e-Azam Academy for Educational Development (QAED) in-service training on the directive leadership skills of educational managers from the Punjab province. The study sample was 359 through a random sampling technique from the Punjab province. Data were collected through adopted questionnaires from indicators of QAED used during in-service training sessions. A Google form was designed based on a five-point Likert scale to get online data from the participants. Most participants showed significant progress in result-driven, decisive leadership capabilities regarding setting academic goals, monitoring instructional performance, and making decisions after in-service training. Moreover, the positive response also explored the impact of in-service training in developing competencies such as vision, communication, objective oversight procedures, and evidence-based action that allow one to be transformed. The development of such directive leadership is necessary for school improvement in challenging environments.
