The philosophy of leadership should contain statements that reflect your beliefs about leadership, specifically leadership for public or charter schools. These statements should describe qualities and ideals that you equate with leadership from an educational administrator's point of view, but are not limited to that perspective. To guide your thinking and writing, reflect on the following questions:
What is the role of vision in successful leadership?
What is the role of effective communication?
What are the characteristics are possessed by successful leaders?
Which competencies are most important in successful leadership?
What unique qualities do school administrators need to lead their schools rather than simply manage them?
