Education researchers have long pointed out that leadership is essential in the success of institutions of higher education. Given this accepted observation, it still remains unclear as to what leadership style best suits a colleges or university. This case study examined examples of the pros and cons regarding the leadership styles, that of the transformational leader and that of the Charismatic leader, of two different presidents at a small Midwest Christian liberal arts university.
