Abstract	Leadership styles and management skills needed by directors and coordinators of learning assistance and developmental education were assessed. Based on a literature review, a questionnaire was constructed and then validated by a panel of experts in the field. The questionnaire was sent to 45 selected learning assistance/developmental education directors and coordinators and 16 responses were received. Findings include: program directors and coordinators saw a difference between leadership and management; the majority of respondents possessed management skills that affected their leadership styles; more than half of the respondents' leadership styles affected their management skills; the majority of respondents felt they needed additional skills, information, or training to improve their leadership styles and management skills; and although the majority of respondents knew where to go for training, they could not afford training unless the institution paid for it. It is recommended that training institutes be sponsored for learning assistance and developmental program directors/coordinators and that a training manual and electronic network be developed. The questionnaire is appended. (SW)
