“…This has led to a view that leadership styles are really an amalgam of behaviours. To this end, integrated leadershipWhite & Cooper, (2017) has been identified as a combination of any or all of the above-mentioned leadership styles, recognizing, of course, that the list presented above is by no means exhaustive.…”

“…The effective, efficient educational leader of the twenty-first century will need to be an "integrated" leader, one who is able to attend to numerous influences from both within and from outside of the school organization in order to be able navigate any and all contested and takenfor-granted positions. Thus, the model for the future may well be an amalgam of past, present and future iterations of educational leadership-the integrated leader (White & Cooper, 2017).…”

“…Among some of the greatest influences are global views that are generally corporatist in nature (Waite & Waite, 2010). This tends to guide leadership towards a much more managerial aspect (White & Cooper, 2017).…”

“…Perhaps it is because of this that one of the most difficult things in writing about leadership is coming to an understanding of what the term "leadership" means. It may be so because leaders can be motivated by any number of stimuli, including any point on the continuum between equitable goals associated with social justice to goals congruent with a search for personal power (White & Cooper, 2017). Further, the search for a suitable definition tends to include formal, as well as informal, leadership.…”

“…Further, the search for a suitable definition tends to include formal, as well as informal, leadership. Indeed, the very concept of leadership is not without its issues, as it refers not only to a research area, but to a practical skill as well (White & Cooper, 2017). As Gardner, (2013) opines, "Leadership is the process of persuasion or example by which an individual (or leadership team) induces a group to pursue objectives held by the leader or shared by the leader and his or her followers" (p. 17).…”

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."-W. Shakespeare, Twelfth Night, Act II Scene v. Leadership has various permutations, including transformational, distributed and integrated authority, to mention just a few. Although these forms of influence may be viewed positively, not all leadership is positive. This article addresses the "dark" or dysfunctional side of leadership. Dysfunctional leadership is inherent in all forms of leadership, and exists independently of leadership style. Dysfunctional leadership comprises an amalgam of contextual conditions, personality traits and specific situational circumstances. Consequently, "dark" or dysfunctional leadership may be ameliorated or exacerbated by the type of task, personality of the leader, or even a mismatch of leadership style to specific contexts. Philosophies of leadership or issues of power may also derail positive leadership. Additionally, mis-educative strategies, such as binary thinking, template approaches and "decision driven data-making," as opposed to data-driven decision-making, reduce leadership to a dysfunctional enterprise. However, even dysfunctional leadership may not be entirely negative, as some experiences may be educative, although they may not be positive.

PurposeThis literature systematically reviews articles published in “core” international journals on the topic of Indigenous education leadership over the period from 2000 to 2018 in four English-speaking countries, covering Canada, America, Australia and New Zealand, in which all of them have long colonial history and Indigenous population. These reviews provide insights into the nature of this emergent literature and generate many implications that required for further research in Indigenous education leadership.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, a vote counting method was employed and a clearly delimited body of research on Indigenous education leadership was also identified. The vote counting method can enlarge the perspectives on the noticeable heterogeneity of Indigenous education leadership within the four English-speaking countries. This is the basic constitutive element for the development of a comparative literature in Indigenous education leadership. Moreover, this method can clearly calculate the annual number of articles about Indigenous education leadership, and the various methods used in the publications of Indigenous education leadership can be figured out as well, which helps to find out the different patterns of changes on Indigenous education leadership.FindingsThis study identifies the patterns of Indigenous educational leadership research across four English-speaking countries, which will contribute to the development of research in this regard.Originality/valueThis is one of the first studies about Indigenous educational leadership in the world. It will not only contribute to education practice but also leadership theory development.
