  “If you want to manage somebody, manage

Lao Tsu
To lead people, walk beside them
...As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their
existence.
The next best, the people honor and praise.
The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate .
When the best leader's work is done the people say, "We did it
ourselves!“
Delegation / Empowerment...
• is the collective effect of leadership
 (Bennis, 1989)- Empowered people feel that they
 can make a critical difference, are significant and

 Clover, 1991) - Accountability for student outcomes

“Much of humanity’s
miseries and failures
stem from leaderships
that aim more to control
than to enable.”
(EZAntonio, 2006)
Final words…
      The success of any school lies on the leadership
