Leading Tomorrow's Leaders
I am in the business of teaching the leaders of tomorrow, and to do so I must be a good leader. The U.S. pedagogy for teaching places modeling high on the priority list meaning I must model how to be a good leader. I can't assure that students see a good model of leadership every year, but I work to be a good leader whenever I am with students. What makes a leader into a good leader you may ask? To which I would say, a good leader leads his followers based on what they need, not simply based on the leaders wants and needs. Thus as a teacher, I plan to lead according to what my students need most and according to what learning is about, not what teaching is about.
