Definition and role of educational
leadership
Leadership is accomplishing something through other
people that would not have happened if you werent there.
And in todays world, thats less and less through command
and control, and more and more through changing
peoples mindset and hence altering the way they behave.

Today, leadership is being able to mobilize ideas and values

that energize other people.

Introduction:
Leadership and Management

Management is being able to develop a plan

and manage according to the plan within a
relatively short time horizon of one or two
years

19
 Leadership is having the vision of knowing where
to take your school over a longer haul, having that
vision and setting the direction, getting
everybody enthused about meeting the longer
term goals, meeting the philosophies of the
school and really making employees feel it (goals)
inside them.

20
 A true leadership capability is where he can go
infront of a group of people talking to them
enthused about things, setting the direction and
getting the people to understand the goals

21
 Is leadership a trait that can be taught or is a
person born with it?

It is a combination of both,It used to be said that

leadership is something a person is born with.
There is some truth in it esp. in small children

22
 But leadership also can be learned, and it has to
be practiced

Conclusion: It is a combination of both
