Visionary Leadership in Schools: Successful Strategies for Developing and Implementing an Educational Vision

By Edward W. Chance

Book Overview

The terms vision and visionary leadership are new additions to the professional vocabulary. The development of visionary leadership is critical because of the challenges that education faces, and educators are ready to rally around the need for vision in our schools. However, a means of identifying vision and a means of assisting individuals who want to develop their visionary leadership skills has been needed. This text provides not only a framework for that leadership but also the theoretical basis and specific methods for developing and implementing educational vision. The book bridges the theory practice domains of educational administration and discusses the need for vision, how to develop a personal and organizational one, strategies for involving and empowering others in the vision-building process, and communicating and sustaining vision. It provides educators with a true roadmap for achieving visionary goals in the schools.
