5. Definition of Leadership
School leadership is not a position but a disposition for taking action. One role of school leaders is to broaden the acceptance of leadership among many staff who share a common vision. Quadrant D Leadership is the collaborative responsibility for taking action to reach the future oriented goal of the intellectual, emotional and physical needs of each student.
" Never doubt that a small group of citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.”
Margaret Mead
