Concepts of Leadership
Leadership is seen to be related to the process of influencing others' behaviour and to goal development and achievement.
Traditional leadership theories concentrates on management techniques and interpersonal skills. However, from a Transformational perspective the leader is one who motivates people to do more than they are originally expected to do according to Bass (1985).
Domains of leadership influence
The affective performance refers to personal commitment.
The behavioural performance refers to general leadership behaviour.
The cognitive performance refers to building values and beliefs about education and management.
The influence process is a holistic way to perform leadership.
Five-dimensions of leadership
1. Human leadership
2. Structural leadership
3. Political leadership
4. Cultural leadership
5. Educational leadership
Leadership for multiple models of educational quality

* Social leader and satisfier
* Environmental leader
* Supervisor
* Organisational developer
Staff members' continuous reflection on their actions and learning to improve and enhance their teaching and daily practice becomes a necessity (Schon, 1987; Watkins and Shindell, 1994).
So that's why we have to keep this reflective journal, it's not just a fill in time exercise after all!
