Hi, this looks like it will be a really interesting topic. I had a few ideas come to mind when I was looking over this book chapter - it might be good to look at EI and how this influences leadership and morale. In addition, it could help to distinguish between task-oriented leaders and socio-emotional oriented leaders. Finally, if you're planning on looking at transformational leadership, it might be good to mention transactional leadership too. Hope this helps. --U3192645 (discuss • contribs) 08:59, 5 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hey there! I found this article that may help you in the development of your chapter. It can be found here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0263211X010293004
It is titled "Delving deeper into morale, job satisfaction and motivation among education professionals" by Evans (2001)
This article discusses how leadership can influence morale in a more indirect way through shaping work contexts. Hope this helps :) --U3190016 (discuss • contribs) 13:27, 15 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.
Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
Possibly overly complicated 3-level structure - consider simplifying e.g. may not need "Leaders in context" - could instead use some of these figures as embedded case studies/examples to illustrate key theory and/or research.

Overall, this is an insufficient chapter mainly because of the poor quality of written expression. The chapter is also quite abstract, so could be improved by providing more practical information about relevant research and everyday case study examples.
For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.
Overall, this chapter provides a basic overview of relevant research.
Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicating the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.
Overall, the quality of written expression is below professional standard. UC Study Skills assistance is recommended to help improve writing skills.
Use 3rd person perspective rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you")[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes.
Reduce use of weasel words which bulk out the text, but don't enhance meaning.
Layout
Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections.
Learning features
Basic use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example.
No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
Very basic use of images - one image.
Basic use of table(s).
Basic use of feature box(es).
Good use of quiz(zes).
The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than being presented as a set of questions at the end.
Basic use of case studies or examples.
Grammar
The grammar for many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance.

The presentation is fun, easy to follow, and interesting to watch and listen to.
The presentation makes effective/basic use of animated slides with narrated audio and sound effects.
Well paced. Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement.
The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read.
The visual communication is effectively supplemented by animation.
The chapter title and sub-title are used in the name of presentation and on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
Audio recording quality was excellent.
Visual display quality was excellent.
