EDAD 6010, Response to Dusti Chapman


An administrator should appeal to both leadership and managerial aspects.
The leadership role falls more into the human resource perceptual lens, and
the managerial role falls more into the structural lens- viewing the school
as a goal oriented factory. When the two intersect, it forms a well-rounded
school administrator. From my experience having interacted with many
principals, I respond best those who empower others by emphasizing the
importance of human relationships. However, as your answer stated, an
effective administrator must have characteristics that intertwine within
several perceptual lenses.





A principal should be well-served to address both the managerial and
leadership aspects of administration because both aspects go hand in hand.
You may find that many principals are only able to be successful in one
area. To be the best administrator possible, you need to exhibit both
aspects and be able to blend the two rather than making them different and
separated rolls. Participants will find that being an effective manager
ensures that they have control, decision making skills, and are structural.
It is vital that a principal or leader be able to show both aspects.

Stakeholders often find that that effective managers are organized. They
ensure things happen according to plans. While, others may feel negative
towards effective managers who fail to address leaderships. A lot of
stakeholders feel that you can’t manage effectively without having
leadership skills. Without leadership there is no inspirational figure to
lead people towards greater accomplishments, influence moods, behaviors and
attitudes. Without leadership there is little room for change and possibly
no vision. Stakeholders would prefer a leader to lead by example and learn
by example rather than be flat out told what to do.
