Unlocking the Potential: Embracing Authoritative Parenting and Leadership

Introduction

Over 80 years of research have demonstrated that the Authoritative style fosters the best relational conditions for children’s development, well-being, mental health, motivation, and academic success, both within families, daycares, and schools.

 

Understanding Authoritative Leadership

Throughout this lecture, you’ll gain a new perspective on the Authoritative leadership style through the PLS Authoritative Leadership model and its new and practically focused clarification of the Authoritative style.

The Authoritative style encompasses warmth and care, along with structured elements such as reasonable rules, boundaries, and expectations tailored to the child’s maturity and the specific situation.

 

In this talk you will learn about:

  • A new perspective on the Authoritative leadership style.
  • The importance of both warmth and structure within the Authoritative approach.
  • The importance of actively cultivating an Authoritative style.
  • The key skills and attitudes crucial for developing and sustaining an Authoritative relational style.
  • The distinctions between Authoritative, authoritarian, and avoidant styles.
  • Strategies for promoting collaboration among adults in supporting children optimally.

Navigating Challenges

Research underscores that the children who derive the greatest benefits from the Authoritative leadership style are often the most vulnerable and tend to challenge adults more frequently.

Simultaneously, it’s crucial to recognize that an Authoritative leadership style isn’t inherent; rather, it’s something we actively cultivate and maintain, particularly in relationships and situations that adults find challenging and demanding, where stress, provocation, or uncertainty may arise.

 

The PLS Authoritative Leadership Model

The PLS Authoritative Leadership Model outlines key skills and attitudes essential for developing and sustaining a more Authoritative relational style. Moreover, it clarifies the distinctions between an Authoritative style characterized by both structure and warmth, an authoritarian style emphasizing control devoid of warmth, and an avoidant style abundant in warmth but lacking structure.

 

Promoting Collaboration

Relationships with children are also influenced by adults’ different ideas and styles, and conflict between adults on what approach to use in challenging and conflictual situations with children can create additional stress and reduce the adults’ capacity to both form a good team as well as support children optimally.

The PLS Authoritative Leadership Model facilitates collaboration and mutual understanding among adults across various styles and the two main dimensions within the Authoritative approach, encompassing structure and warmth.
