Nurturing the leadership that matters in a time of uncertainty

Journal Title: Kwartalnik Pedagogiczny - Year 2019, Vol 64, Issue 2

Abstract

This paper aims to challenge school principals, teachers and teacher educators to seriously engage with concepts that are deemed central to educational improvement, namely positive leadership and authenticity. It is argued that when teachers as leaders work with and for others to build communities that are relevant and meaningful they can have an impact on collective growth. The paper adopts a different approach, one that encourages the reader to engage not only at the conceptual level but to move from in inward to an outward perspective. The intention being to get the reader to make personal decisions that can have an impact at the personal and collective level. It is argued that only in this way can change be brought about.<br/><br/>
