Personal leadership.
Business leadership. 
Servant leadership. 
Leadership potential.

These are terms of special interest in the last few years.  Leadership experts have attained celebrity status with millions signing up for “life-altering” leadership seminars and packing up on books about decision-making, mind-setting, and life-planning.

How about SCHOOL LEADERSHIP?

Has this aspect of leadership gotten enough attention?  It probably hasn’t.

What can you do to make sure school heads are better equipped to lead their schools to excellence?
