Philosophy of Leadership
Leadership is not only in a school setting but other professions requiring one or two people to direct others in a beneficial path.

My philosophy of leadership is just that, to be a leader. I will be held accountable for the issues that arise in my school building. As the leader, I need to be able to drive my staff and students in the direction where success and sense of accomplishment is in reach. Each staff members, student, and parents needs to be on board and focus on the outcome. When leading a large group of staff members, a leader must rely on trust, consistency, and honesty to gain respect of the staff.
The staff members must gain my trust and follow behind my vision for the school. I will strive to keep my word and follow through with actions based on situations. The school needs to be able to rely and trust their leader to make decisions ultimately enhancing the school atmosphere. I envision a school atmosphere thriving from the mutual respect between staff and administration as well as staff and students. I believe I must motivate my staff members to put forth their best effort and strategies to engage and teach students the required skills and background knowledge. An entire school building cannot run smoothly without the trust and support of the leaders.
Consistency is another characteristics aiding in the development of a high-quality leader. Each member of the staff brings something to the table and should not feel in any way they are disposable. As a leader, if there is a situation requiring
