A Look at Leadership

A Closer Look

“The moral purpose of school leadership is to create schools in which all students learn, the gap between high and low performance is greatly diminished and what students learn will prepare them for success in their futures, not ours.”

A Closer Look

“The work of leadership is about working with, for and through people. It is a social act. Whether we are discussing instructional leadership, change leadership or leadership as learning, people are always the medium for the leader.”

A Closer Look

“The concept of leadership is extremely complex…Isolating the parts of leadership completely misses the power of the whole. It is not just knowing what to do, but why to do it, how to do it and when to do it.”

A Closer Look

“Leaders bring their ‘person’ to the practice of leadership.”

Who We Are As Leaders

O We are in positions of influence and trust.

O We are expected to have a moral compass.

O We are modeling the expectation.

O We determine the ‘weather’ in our roles.
