Thomas Sergiovanni is the author of The Principalship, A Reflective Practice Perspective. Today I would like to discuss some characteristics of a successful principal mentioned in his book and relate these characteristics to those of Abraham Lincoln. Feel free to jump in anytime.
Sergiovanni looks at leadership in a very holistic way. He talks about the The heart, the head, and the hand of leadership. The heart has to do with values and what a person believes and is committed to. The head involves the leader's knowledge of the elements of leadership and the hands represent the action taken to produce a positive change. When principals are able to use all three together, it is then that they are using the theory of reflective practice. To be continued.....
"Team of Rivals" is a book written by Doris Kerns Goodwin. The main story centrals on the lives of President Abraham Lincoln and the three men who would eventually become a part of his cabinet.
