What Is Educational and Administrative Leadership?
As one reflects on the term, "Educational Administration and Leadership," it brings to mind the idea of the effective management of an institution and the director(s) role in it. Keeping the task at hand in mind, it would be presumptuous of me not to consult with what the professionals say about the terms, "administration" and "leadership." Looking at these terms in isolation, the Encarta Britannica defines administration as the service that is rendered, or duties assumed, in conducting the affairs of an office or place of employment. Hence, it is the management of the affairs
