Leadership

Introduction

Leadership is the term that is full of adhesions management far removed from the values of educational institutions and first contribution was actually driven through considering that it was linked to the characteristics and traits of the leader. Thus, the tendency for moving beyond the hierarchical, technical and rational models to go to the approaches which emphasis the cultural aspects symbolic, moral for leadership is often reflected around 90 in the notion of transformational leadership as a concept that is originated in the business and it moves to the field of education.

If these needs are met, an organization will be able to achieve successful leadership strategies. This will lead towards performance indicators that allow the measurements for achievement (John, 2005).
