ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses Scouller’s Three Levels Leadership model as a practical management tool for developing leadership presence, know-how and skill. Leadership ‘presence’ is discussed in detail. The link with authentic leadership and self-mastery is explored. The chapter shows that leadership self-mastery is about the leader getting to know their own negative impulses and then overcoming them in order to steer the school or university towards its desired future; and is opposed by leadership homeostasis (the fear of failure and the fear of success as a mindset). The chapter links self-mastery to Maslow’s notion of self-actualisation, discussed in Chapter 6, and ends with discussion of ‘differential self-growth’.
