Three Leadership Paradigms Revisited

Abstract

Leadership has a crucial need that shifts and changes as communities change. Did you realize that if you have nothing important to follow, there is no leadership (Sergiovanni, 2001)? Therefore, you and your colleagues will recognize a leader who is committed and has values that are similar to yours—a person to whom you can turn who will directly answer your questions about your teaching practices. Did you observe in your workplace that you and your colleagues do not go to the principal or central office to seek answers to questions about assessment, instruction, or classroom management? You seek a colleague who knows something about your interests and who will be able to give you answers.
