Leadership

Abstract

Leadership can be multi-faceted and multidirectional. Developing leadership capacity requires consideration of a variety of leadership models and reflection on an individual’s and group’s capacity and the contexts in which they are working. Professional development is required for leaders at all levels to enhance capacity, increase networking opportunities and reflect on an individual’s leadership journey. This chapter will consider the many aspects of leadership capacity-building in the context of both individuals and groups and the importance of ensuring the leadership model being used is appropriate and relevant. The settings which will be investigated include a senior secondary art classroom in Australia, a community-based digital inclusion initiative in a rural Australian town and an exploration of the training of yoga teachers.
