Perhaps it is time, they say, to stop thinking of leadership as aggressive action and more as a way of thinking--about ourselves, our jobs, and the nature of the educational process. Thus, "instructional leadership" is "out" and "transformational leadership" is "in."
![Page 28: Practical Lessons for 21 Century Leadersmychesterfieldschools.com/wp-content/uploads/...superintendent, you will learn to blend proven best practices with 21 st Century innovation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050107/5f459553e0e3993654632169/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Transformational Leadership James MacGregor Burnes was the first to
introduced the concept of transforming leadership. According to Burns, transforming leadership is a process in which "leaders and followers help each other to advance to a higher level of morale and motivation".
The transforming approach redesigns perceptions and
values, and changes expectations and aspirations of employees. Transforming leaders are idealized in the sense that they are a moral exemplar of working towards the benefit of the team, organization and/or community.

What It Takes to Be a Great Leader
Good judgment This involves “a capacity for integrating a vast amalgam of constantly changing, multicolored, evanescent, perpetually overlapping data.” A leader with good judgment has a subtle feel for the
texture of his/her circumstance. He/she has a feel for where opportunities lie, what will go together and what will never go together.”

They do not feel the organization is about them. “They are just God’s temporary instrument in service of a larger cause… This sense of being an instrument gives them an organizing purpose. It gives them a larger perspective, so they don’t get distracted by ephemera.

A decade of Wallace-sponsored research on school leadership has identified five key functions of effective principals, each of which interacts with and depends on the others: Shaping a vision of academic success for all students, based on high standards. “The School Principal As Leader: Guiding Schools to Better Teaching and Learning” by James Harvey and Holly Holland, The Wallace Foundation, January 2012, HTTP://BIT.LY/ZCVOCB

Effective Principals Creating a climate hospitable to education in order that
safety, a cooperative spirit, and other foundations of fruitful interaction prevail; this involves “an upbeat, welcoming, solution-oriented, no-blame, professional environment,” say Harvey and Holland.

Effective Principals
Cultivating leadership in others so that teachers
and other adults assume their part in realizing the school vision; “if test scores are any indication, the more willing principals are to spread leadership around, the better for students.

Effective Principals Improving instruction to enable teachers to teach at
their best and students to learn at their utmost; this means frequently spending “time in classrooms... observing and commenting on what’s working well and what is not,” say the authors.
“High-scoring principals believe that every teacher, whether a first-year teacher or a veteran, can learn and grow,” say Harvey and Holland.

Effective Principals Managing people, data, and processes to foster school improvement.
The most effective principals were tough-minded with
personnel, “aggressively weeding out individuals who did not show the capacity to grow,” say Harvey and Holland. They also ask good questions of teachers, display data in a way that tells a compelling story, and spur collaborative inquiry within teacher teams.
The study says effective principals need to stay put for 5-7 years.

Advice for New Superintendents BY DARRELL G. FLOYD January 2009
The long, arduous superintendent selection process is concluding and now reality is setting in. You will be the next superintendent of schools in a new school district.
What now? What steps should you take to ensure a smooth transition and a successful beginning? (101-112).
![Page 79: Practical Lessons for 21 Century Leadersmychesterfieldschools.com/wp-content/uploads/...superintendent, you will learn to blend proven best practices with 21 st Century innovation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022050107/5f459553e0e3993654632169/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Communicate early and often. Begin to communicate with the key players in the community and school district.
Do your homework. Thoroughly research the
school district’s data. Leave no stone unturned in this area.

Advice for New Superintendents Don’t make hasty changes. Every school district has
challenges, but most also have traditions, historical achievements and honors of the past.
Get out and about in the community. Especially in the first few months of your tenure, begin
to build relationships within the community.

Advice for New Superintendents
Listen, listen, listen. As you make your rounds in schools and to community events, listen for
what is said and what is not said.

Advice for New Superintendents
Don’t forget about your own professional development. As author Stephen Covey says, you’ve got to “sharpen your own saw.” If you don’t, you will not move forward in your career
as an effective school leader.
