The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between instructor leadership type and teaching style in higher education classrooms. One survey, the Kaleidoscope Profile (Haggart, 1997) sought to determine instructor leadership type and an instructor's approach to teaching curriculum in the workplace. It was administered to two groups of adjunct instructors. The first, a sample of 35 adjunct instructors from the Department of Graduate Teacher Education at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania. They were in the employ of Performance Learning Systems (PLS), an educational consulting company based in Nevada City, California. The same survey was administered to 65 adjunct instructors directly employed by Wilkes University (WU) in Pennsylvania. Results indicate that a statistically significant relationship existed between leadership type and teaching style for the combined group of PLS and WU instructors (N=60). In addition to classroom leadership types needing to be studied critically, the relationship between leadership type and preferred teaching style needs to be explored in greater detail.
