EDAD 6010, Response to Dusti Chapman An administrator should appeal to both leadership and managerial aspects. The leadership role falls more into the human resource perceptual lens, and the managerial role falls more into the structural lens- viewing the school as a goal oriented factory. When the two intersect, it forms a well-rounded school administrator. From my experience having interacted with many principals, I respond best those who empower others by emphasizing the importance of human relationships. However, as your answer stated, an effective administrator must have characteristics that intertwine within several perceptual lenses. A principal should be well-served to address both the managerial and leadership aspects of administration because both aspects go hand in hand. You may find that many principals are only able to be successful in one area. To be the best administrator possible, you need to exhibit both aspects and be able to blend the two rather than making them different and separated rolls. Participants will find that being an effective manager ensures that they have control, decision making skills, and are structural. It is vital that a principal or leader be able to show both aspects. Stakeholders often find that that effective managers are organized. They ensure things happen according to plans. While, others may feel negative towards effective managers who fail to address leaderships. A lot of stakeholders feel that you can’t manage effectively without having leadership skills. Without leadership there is no inspirational figure to lead people towards greater accomplishments, influence moods, behaviors and attitudes. Without leadership there is little room for change and possibly no vision. Stakeholders would prefer a leader to lead by example and learn by example rather than be flat out told what to do. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
