Do You Have the Courage to be an Effective Educational Leader?

Let’s face it.. It takes courage to be an effective education leader. I takes courage to launch a school program that makes staff uncomfortable. It takes courage to institute a policy that may make parents livid. It takes courage to disagree with senior management or the school board or to fight for some change that you believe is needed in your organization. It takes courage to take a position that may make you look bad or get you fired.

Do you have the courage to lead? How can you develop more courage?
