“Well. I would have exhibited more leadership if someone would have

Margaret MeadMargaret Mead

" Never doubt that a small group of citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.”

School leadership is not a position but a disposition for taking action. One

role of school leaders is to broaden the acceptance of leadership among many

staff who share a common vision. Quadrant D Leadership is the

collaborative responsibility for taking action to reach the future oriented

goal of the intellectual, emotional and physical needs of each student.
