In this dynamic leadership simulation, we each embodied a specific leadership style while developing a solution to the case study. This immersive experience required us to think, act, and communicate consistently with our assigned leadership style throughout the entire process. We simulated how each leadership style would process, analyze, and present the solution in our leadership committee.

Case Study: 1:1 Device Implementation

​

Background:

Highland Grove High School, serving 2,200 students in a mixed socioeconomic suburban area, is preparing to launch a one-to-one device program. Principal Sarah Chen has secured funding for Chromebooks for all students, but she's facing significant resistance from veteran teachers who believe the initiative will be more disruptive than beneficial. Several department heads have expressed concerns about inadequate professional development and potential classroom management issues.

​

Key Challenges:

- 40% of teachers are openly opposing the initiative

- Limited time for training before the planned rollout

- Need to ensure equitable implementation across departments

- Concerns about internet access for students at home

- Budget constraints for ongoing technical support

​

Leadership Task

As Principal Chen, develop a strategy to implement this initiative while addressing stakeholder concerns and maintaining staff morale. Consider how different leadership styles might influence the outcome.
