 | | Distributed leadership enables teachers to develop and use their talents as members or chairs of school improvement committees, trainers, coaches, mentors, and members of peer review panels. |
 | | Principle-centered leadership introduces a new paradigm, one founded on the belief that there are certain "true north" principles-trustworthiness, trust, empowerment, and alignment-that should guide personal and interpersonal relationships and form the foundation of effective leadership. |
 | | Based on a 1998 leadership study commissioned by the United Kingdom's National Association of Headteachers (the equivalent of principals in the U.S.), results revealed several leadership qualities: values-led, people-centered, achievement-oriented, inward- and outward-facing, and able to manage a number of ongoing tensions and dilemmas. |
