Produktbeschreibung
This book examines the literature on leadership and
counseling to determine similarities, and
investigate how principals perceived their
leadership role in terms of the theories of
counseling and leadership. It further explores the
implications for the selection, appraisal and
development of principals.
The literature of effective counselors and
educational leaders was reviewed to find significant
similarities. Principals in Sydney were involved in
a Q-sort survey to prioritise the essential emphases
of effective educational leaders. Interviews were
carried out to cast light on the survey results.
Content analysis was carried out on documents of the
NSW Government and Sydney Catholic School Systems.
Literature on both leadership and counseling
emphasised the importance of the leader/counselor s
authenticity, empathy, respect, and communication
skills. Principals prioritised these counselling-
related attributes after a focus on students and
strategic leadership but ahead of organisation,
resource management, evaluating and controlling.
The book is for practising principals, educational
leaders and researchers.
