Characteristics
of an Authentic Leader
Educators and
educational administrators live in a world where decisions and actions can have
generational impacts. Every day decisions are made regarding
programming, enrichment, suspensions, expulsions, etc… that have long lasting
consequences for the individual affected by the decisions of the school leader.
Thus, it is imperative that they make
careful and thoughtful decisions when creating the educational environment in
their schools. According to R. Starratt (1993), school leaders should have
three qualities that further promote the world around them and lead them
towards moral decision-making qualities: “autonomy, connectedness, and
transcendence” (Starratt, 2003, p. 137).
