The Leadership Framework by Leithwood
Leithwood’s Leadership Framework suggests that effective school leadership involves four key areas: setting clear direction, developing people’s skills, redesigning the organization, and creating an engaging school climate. Leaders inspire and guide staff and students towards shared goals, foster continuous improvement, adjust structures for better performance, and build a positive environment that supports learning. This approach emphasizes that strong leadership influences school success through a combination of strategic vision, talent development, organizational change, and culture.
