The various leadership models that are widely used in various educational organizations, including schools, are choices that may or may not be appropriate to the culture of the organization. The application of a leadership model is very dependent on the conditions of the object where the model is applied. The changing dynamics of the world of education require the development of existing leadership competencies. The STIFIn method is an approach to the concept of machine intelligence and a person's genetic personality.
