ABSTRACT
The link between successful schools and the quality of head teachers’ leadership in articulating clearly defined educational values is well documented. The need to provide clear and effective leadership to create the climate in which school improvement will occur is now undisputed and has been already been alluded to earlier in this book. However, head teachers, while needing to provide the direction for others, have to discover some methodology for sustaining their personal capacity in order to be able to provide the stimulus for others. This is an extremely difficult task, made more so by the dearth of support and training available.
