Leadership and all!

Finally completed the first task. Now to examine Part B. I have been looking back at my readings on leadership in order to use for assignment 2. Reading over Cheng's article Leadership and Strategy has reinforced much of what I have learnt. Yes, leaders need to be proactive and an area that Cheng mentions really makes a great deal of sense. Leaders need to be strategic, in our fast paced technological society teachers, schools, TL's need to think more carefully about the future. We need to be inspirational but most importantly we must become forward thinkers. How do we achieve this? by working cooperatively, embracing shared visions, not an easy task but it is achievable. This last idea is supported by Donham's article, she focuses on the link between leadership and the shared vision. TL's have a unique position, we work with all staff and students, to ensure that our schools are able to provide the best possible learning environment. A Huge Role!
